Abstract: The shortwave and longwave fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and at the surface are parameterized in term of solar constant, solar zenith angle, cloud parameters (amount, optical depth, height, and emissivity), ...

Abstract: Detailed concurrent summer observations of surface meteorological variables, high-resolution boundary layer profiles, and upper-air profiles were carried in the intermediate region between the high plateau and the coast ...

Abstract: This paper presents snowdrift sublimation rates evaluated from meteorological and snowdrift data observed over Antarctic snow surfaces during austral summer. Snowdrift sublimation is found to be the major contributor to ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Arctic is warming 2 to 3 times faster than the global average. Arctic sea ice cover is very sensitive to this warming and has reached historic minima in late summer in recent years (e.g., 2007 and 2012). ...

Abstract: Recent model studies have indicated that observed stratospheric ozone decline can have a cooling effect on climate. This study intends to investigate the climate response due to changes in the radiative fluxes caused by ...

Abstract: AbstractWith Arctic summer sea ice potentially disappearing halfway through this century, the surface albedo and insulating effects of Arctic sea ice will decrease considerably. The ongoing Arctic sea ice retreat also ...
