Low Cloud Dispersion Effects by Anthropogenic Aerosols in Polluted Air

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) are a major source of uncertainty in anthropogenic climate forcing. Anthropogenic aerosols modulate the cloud albedo by impacting the relative dispersion (ε) of cloud droplet size distributions (CDSDs), known as the dispersion effect.

The Surface Chemical Composition of Lunar Samples and Its Significance for Optical Properties [PDF]

The surface iron, titanium, calcium, and silicon concentration in numerous lunar soil and rock samples was determined by Auger electron spectroscopy. All soil samples show a large increase in the iron to oxygen ratio compared with samples of pulverized ...

Evaluating Atmospheric River Impacts on Energy and Moisture Transport in the Arctic Using Different Detection Algorithms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) significantly impact the Arctic climate system by enhancing atmospheric heat and moisture transport and altering the local energy budget. Developing AR detection tools (ARDTs) is critical yet challenging. This study evaluates 12 ARDTs in the Arctic to assess their performance in representing atmospheric heat ...

Kernel‐Based Estimation of Stratospheric Aerosol Radiative Effects From Volcanic and Wildfire Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract To facilitate the quantification of the stratospheric aerosol direct radiative effect (ARE), this study develops a suite of aerosol kernels based on Modern‐Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 reanalysis data. The kernels comprise a five‐dimensional data set that includes latitude, longitude, time, wavelength ...

Triton's global heat budget [PDF]

Internal heat flow from radioactive decay in Triton's interior along with absorbed thermal energy from Neptune total 5 to 20 percent of the insolation absorbed by Triton, thus comprising a significant fraction of Triton's surface energy balance.

An Analytical Model of the Lifecycle of Tropical Anvil Cloud Radiative Effects

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Satellite observations and numerical simulations show that the small net Cloud Radiative Effect (CRE) of tropical anvil clouds results from a near‐cancellation between large but opposing longwave (LW) and shortwave (SW) components over the cloud's lifecycle.

Ice‐Nucleating Particle and Cloud Ice Crystal Concentrations Associated With Developing Summertime Deep Convective Clouds in South‐Western USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs), essential for initiating primary ice production in many mixed‐phase clouds, have only rarely been measured in air directly relevant for deep convective clouds. In July–August 2022 we used an aircraft to sample aerosol near developing deep convective clouds over Magdalena Mountain, New Mexico, USA.

Skillful Polar WRF Cloud Modeling of a Warm Winter Atmospheric River at the Antarctic Peninsula

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers are episodic events that can advect relatively large quantities of moisture to Antarctica, contributing to both disproportionate precipitation and melting events. The Year of Polar Prediction, an international effort to improve weather prediction over the southern polar region, presents an opportunity to study the clouds and

Accounting for albedo change to identify climate-positive tree cover restoration

Nature Communications
Restoring tree cover changes albedo, which is the fraction of sunlight reflected from the Earth’s surface. In most locations, these changes in albedo offset or even negate the carbon removal benefits with the latter leading to global warming.
