... an important part in cloud microphysics, which modulates the global albedo. A conceptual model is proposed whereby the anomalous presence of Kfs post impact is posited to have two key effects on cloud dynamics: (1) Kfs reduces the average albedo of mixed-phase clouds, which leads to a hotter climate; and (2...

... continents ( Schrag et al., 2002 ). Hence, Neoproterozoic paleogeography may have been more sensitive to ice-albedo runaway. Alternatively, it has been proposed that long-term Neoproterozoic cooling was due to decreased volcanic outgassing from continental volcanic arcs ( McKenzie et al., 2014 , 2016...

... of atmospheric p CO 2 such that weathering rates are insensitive to CO 2 , and further decreases in carbon input combined with ice albedo effects could result in runaway icehouse conditions. Similarly, silicate weathering may become supply-limited even with high temperature and high p CO 2 , where the system...

... otherwise have on climate. Simulations based on a meltwater model indicate that direct forcing could result from amplified ultraviolet (UV) emission during solar maxima, combined with lower UV albedo of glacial ice. The plausible forcing mechanism bolsters epistemology for concluding a cause–effect...

... Abstract Snow albedo is an important climate parameter as it governs the amount of solar energy absorbed by the snow and can be considered a major contributor to the surface radiation budget. The present study deals with the estimation of temporal variation of snow albedo at the upper elevation...

... value (−1.08 mm/day) of sublimation rate at 4863 m a.s.l. shows that a large amount of energy available at the surface was used in sublimation processes. A comparatively lower albedo, relative humidity and net longwave radiation and higher latent heat flux, wind speed and net shortwave radiation yield...

Two input parameters that go into radiative transfer models, the scattering phase function and the single scattering albedo, are functions of a material’s optical constants. Pyroxene is a common rock...
