The decline in Arctic summer sea ice alters air–sea gas exchange. Because the Arctic Ocean accounts for 5%–14% of global oceanic carbon uptake, understanding how sea ice melt impacts the ocean’s carbon sink capacity is central to co...
This paper describes the modification of a simple land snow cover module of the INM RAS climate model. The possible liquid water and refreezing of meltwater in the snow layer are taken into account by the proposed parameterization. This is particular...
This study utilizes a novel albedo retrieval framework combining radiative transfer modeling with scientific machine learning (RTM-SciML) to investigate sea ice dynamics in the Sea of Okhotsk. By validating albedo estimates derived from the MODIS sen...
Microplastic particles, as a second-phase material in ice, may contribute to the effect such particles have on the melting and rheological behaviour of glaciers, and thus influence the future meltwater contribution to the oceans and rising sea levels...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains. This small but...
Water vulnerabilities in Central Asia are affected by a complex combination of climate-sensitive water sources, trans-boundary political tensions, infrastructure deficiencies and a lack of water management organization from community to federal level...
Meltwater drainage onset (DO) timing and drainage duration (DD) related to snowmelt-water redistribution are both important for understanding not only the Arctic energy and heat budgets but also the salt/heat balance of the mixed layer in the ocean a...
Compared to the southern Tibetan Plateau, the northern part has been regarded as relatively lacking geothermal resources. However, there is no lack of natural hot springs exposed in beads along large-scale fracture systems, and research on them is cu...
