Arctic clouds are among the largest sources of uncertainty in predictions of Arctic weather and climate. This is mainly due to errors in the representation of the cloud thermodynamic phase and the associated radiative impacts, which largely depends on the ...

The MOSAiC expedition was designed to better understand the local and remote processes influencing the Arctic climate system. The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, a process known as Arctic amplification. One of the most ...

Mixed-phase clouds in polar regions play a crucial role in surface ice melting. To accurately predict their radiative impact in climate models, an accurate representation of their microphysical structure is required. However, cloud ice content is generally ...

Quantifying the Impact of Primary vs Secondary Ice Production on Arctic Clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Georgia Sotiropoulou

Ice formation remains among the most poorly understood and hence poorly represented cloud processes in climate models. Primary ice production (PIP) has been recognized as a key process for the correct representation of the modeled cloud feedbacks; secondar ...

In late winter, solar radiation is the main driver of water motion in ice-covered lakes. The resulting circulation and mixing determine the spatial distribution of heat within the lake and affect the heat budget of the ice cover. Although under-ice lake wa ...

Evolution and spatial variability of small-scale surface roughness of snow and sea ice during MOSAiC

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, Dávid Wágner, David Nicholas Wagner

Small-scale surface roughness (on an area of about 0.5 m x 0.5 m) affects remote sensing retrieval algorithms and radiative transfer models, yet data of snow and ice surface roughness over sea ice is scarce. Microwave emissivity, important for satellite re ...

How Forward-Scattering Snow and Terrain Change the Alpine Radiation Balance With Application to Solar Panels

Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl

Rough terrain in mid- and high latitudes is often covered with highly reflective snow, giving rise to a very complex transfer of incident sunlight. In order to simplify the radiative transfer in weather and climate models, snow is generally treated as an i ...

Version 1 of a sea ice module for the physics-based, detailed, multi-layer SNOWPACK model

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Nander Wever

Sea ice is an important component of the global climate system. The presence of a snowpack covering sea ice can strongly modify the thermodynamic behavior of the sea ice, due to the low thermal conductivity and high albedo of snow. The snowpack can be stra ...

Iodine Drives New Particle Formation in the Central Arctic Ocean

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The Arctic is warming faster than Earth on average (Arctic amplification) and the extent of the sea ice coverage has decreased dramatically over the past decades, especially in summer. However, the underlying processes behind this amplification are not wel ...

Ship-based measurements of ice nuclei concentrations over the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans

Julia Schmale, André Welti

Ambient concentrations of ice-forming particles measured during ship expeditions are collected and summarised with the aim of determining the spatial distribution and variability in ice nuclei in oceanic regions. The presented data from literature and prev ...
