Over the modern satellite era, substantial climatic changes have been observed in the
Antarctic, including atmospheric and oceanic warming, ice sheet thinning and a general …

This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite
remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue …

Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are vital for ice initiation in, and precipitation from, mixed-
phase clouds. A source of INPs from oceans within sea spray aerosol (SSA) emissions has …

The global climate has been experiencing significant warming at an unprecedented pace in
the past century,. This warming is spatially and temporally non-uniform, and one needs to …

Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have
been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of …

The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) released its latest
reanalysis dataset named ERA5 in 2017. To assess the performance of ERA5 in Antarctica …

In this study, we evaluate output of near-surface atmospheric variables over the Antarctic Ice
Sheet from four reanalyses: the new European Centre for Medium-Range Weather …

Over the past two decades the primary driver of mass loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(WAIS) has been warm ocean water underneath coastal ice shelves, not a warmer …

Atmospheric downward longwave radiation at the surface (Ld) varies with increasing CO2
and other greenhouse gases. This study quantifies the uncertainties of current estimates of …
