Estimation of long-term gridded cloud radiative kernel and radiative effects based on cloud fraction by X. Liu, T. He, Q. Wang, X. Xiao, Y. Ma, Y. Wang, S. Luo, L. Du, Z. Wu, Z. Wu

“…Using these GCF-CRKs, we estimated the spatiotemporal properties of the surface shortwave CRE in the Arctic over a 21-year period (2000–2020), and the trend result indicates that, despite the increasing influence of the CF on the Arctic DSSR, the smaller magnitude and interannual trend of the annual average surface shortwave CRE suggest that previous studies may have overestimated the magnitude and rate of the cooling effect of clouds on the Arctic DSSR by up to 4 and 0.5 W m<span class="inline-formula">⁻²</span> per decade, particularly in Greenland. …”

Evaluating the 20th Century Reanalysis Version 3 with synoptic typing and an East Antarctic ice core accumulation record by M. T. Nilssen, M. T. Nilssen, D. G. Udy, D. G. Udy, D. G. Udy, T. R. Vance

“…We identify 12 synoptic types using self-organising maps (SOMs) based on their dominant pressure anomaly patterns over the southern Indian Ocean, with 4 types associated with above-average daily precipitation at Law Dome. Our results show the 20th Century Reanalysis project represents the meridional synoptic conditions associated with precipitation variability at Law Dome more reliably from 1948, aligning with the increased availability and thus assimilation of consistent surface pressure data from weather stations in the southern Indian Ocean from the late 1940s. …”
