Abstract: ABSTRACT Radiative transfer theory based retrievals of effective snow grain size (SGS), albedo were widely explored using hyper-spectral sensors. However, investigation of linkage between diagnostic absorption peak characteristics (PCs) and snow surface parameters remained scarce,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract. We implement a set of new parameterizations into the widely used Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model to account for effects of snow grain shape (spherical vs. nonspherical) and black carbon (BC)–snow mixing state (external… read more here.
