The Role of Near Solstice Solar Radiation on the Pacific Northwest Heatwave of June 2021

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract In late June 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave, shattering temperature records and making worldwide news. The extreme temperatures have been attributed to an anomalously strong atmospheric block, high moisture content of upstream air, and dry soils.

Apparent Global Increase in Cloud Droplet Number Concentration After 2022 Attributed to MODIS Orbital Drift

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract A long‐term, consistent satellite record of cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) is essential for understanding aerosol‐cloud interactions and their climate effects. However, the Aqua MODIS‐retrieved Nd exhibits an unexpected and substantial increase over the near‐global oceans after 2022, contradicting the expected decline from continued ...

An infrared reflectance study of low albedo surface constituents [PDF]

Observational testing of the idea that the distribution of water is the key to understanding the volatile content of the asteroid belt relies on the exploration of the 3 micron absorption feature in hydrated silicates - the only diagnostic spectral band ...

What Factors Explain the Current Arctic Albedo and Its Future Change?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The Arctic has experienced rapid sea ice loss and a substantial surface albedo decline, altering its radiation budget. CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) models capture these trends but show considerable inter‐model spread in the magnitude, distribution, and seasonality of Arctic surface albedo.

Fast Retrieval of Cloud Optical Depth From Polarimetry and Multi‐Spectral Imagery That Accounts for Cloud Heterogeneity Using 3D Radiative Transfer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract We present a method for retrieving cloud optical depth that applies 3D radiative transfer to utilize the combination of polarimetry and multi‐spectral imagery that is newly available from satellite missions such as the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean, Ecosystem (PACE) Mission. Due to the approximate spectral invariance of scattering by clouds,

Variable features in the Valles Marineris region of Mars [PDF]

Transient phenomena on Mars have long been recognized in Mariner and Viking images as well as in decades of Earth based telescopic observations. These events are of interest because of the information they present on currently active meteorological and ...
