Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

The determination of surface albedo from meteorological satellites [PDF]
A surface albedo was determined from visible data collected by the NOAA-4 polar orbiting meteorological satellite. To filter out the major cause of atmospheric reflectivity, namely clouds, techniques were developed and applied to the data resulting in a ...

Glacier‐Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High‐Mountain Regions ‐ A Review
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Mountain glaciers are among the natural systems most vulnerable to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large‐scale ...

X_(CO2) retrieval error over deserts near critical surface albedo [PDF]
, 2016 Large retrieval errors in column‐weighted CO_2 mixing ratio (X_(CO2)) over deserts are evident in the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 version 7 L2 products.

Fourier spectra from exoplanets with polar caps and ocean glint
, 2015 The weak orbital-phase dependent reflection signal of an exoplanet contains information on the planet surface, such as the distribution of continents and oceans on terrestrial planets.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract The radiative effect of aerosol on cloud albedo via altering cloud droplet effective radius (re) is a major uncertainty in the Earth's climate system. Remote sensing studies have reported either negative or positive relationships between re and aerosol number concentration (Na) or other aerosol proxies.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Springtime warming over Northern Mid‐High‐latitude Land profoundly affects plant life cycles and water resources, yet large model uncertainty limits climate risk assessment. Here, we develop a novel emergent constraint that targets the key uncertainty source—model divergence in surface‐albedo feedback linked to historical snowmelt sensitivity.

Diurnal asymmetry of surface albedo in a semi‐arid grassland over the China's Loess Plateau
Atmospheric Science LettersIn current land surface models or satellite remote sensing retrievals, clear‐sky surface albedo (α) is usually assumed to be symmetrical and relies only on the solar elevation angle (SEA).

Variation in Glacier Albedo on the Tibetan Plateau between 2001 and 2022 Based on MODIS Data
Remote SensingAlbedo is a primary driver of the glacier surface energy balance and consequent melting. As glacier albedo decreases, it further accelerates glacier melting.
