Quantifying radiative effects of light-absorbing particle deposition on snow at the SnowMIP sites by E. Zorzetto, E. Zorzetto, E. Zorzetto, P. Ginoux, S. Malyshev, E. Shevliakova

“…<p>The deposition of light-absorbing particles (LAPs) leads to a decrease in surface albedo over snow-covered surfaces. This effect, by increasing the energy absorbed by the snowpack, enhances snowmelt and accelerates snow aging, process that in turn are responsible for further decreasing the snow albedo. …”

Seasonal Peak Snow Predictability Derived From Early‐Season Snow in North America by Jessica D. Lundquist, Rhae Sung Kim, Michael Durand, Laura R. Prugh

“…Early season snowfall also makes up greater than 60 percent of peak accumulation in interior low‐precipitation locations leeward of mountains, particularly those that are subject to strong, warm winds and midwinter snow loss. Early season snow observations show promise in predicting peak snow water equivalent in locations where large‐scale ocean‐atmosphere patterns similarly influence fall and winter conditions, and in northern maritime locations where winter temperatures are warm enough that rain on snow and midwinter melt occur. …”

Investigating the impact of reanalysis snow input on an observationally calibrated snow-on-sea-ice reconstruction by A. Cabaj, P. J. Kushner, A. A. Petty

“…Although reanalysis products have many similarities in their precipitation output over the Arctic Ocean, they nevertheless have relative biases that impact derived snow-on-sea-ice estimates. …”

Resolving Size Distribution of Black Carbon Internally Mixed With Snow: Impact on Snow Optical Properties and Albedo by Cenlin He, Kuo‐Nan Liou, Yoshi Takano

“…Compared with a realistic polydisperse assumption and observed shifts to larger BC sizes in snow, respectively, assuming monodisperse BC and typical atmospheric BC effective radii could lead to overestimates of ~24% and ~40% in BC‐snow albedo forcing averaged over different BC and snow conditions.…”
