This paper describes ESM-SnowMIP, an international coordinated modelling effort to evaluate current snow schemes, including snow schemes that are included in Earth system …
NICAM, a nonhydrostatic global atmospheric model with an icosahedral grid system, has been developed for nearly two decades. This paper describes NICAM16-S, the latest stable …
To improve surface mass balance (SMB) estimates for the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), we developed a 5 km resolution regional climate model combining the Japan Meteorological …

We proposed new snow grain model and snow impurity mixture models for the purpose of accurate retrievals of snow grain size and concentration of light‐absorbing particles (LAP) in …
The mass concentrations of light‐absorbing snow impurities at Sapporo, Japan, were measured during six winters from 2007 to 2013. Elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon …
The surface energy balance (SEB) from 30 June to 14 July 2012 at site SIGMA (Snow Impurity and Glacial Microbe effects on abrupt warming in the Arctic)-A,(78° 03'N, 67° 38'W; …

Depositions of light‐absorbing particles (LAPs), such as black carbon (BC) and dust, on the snow surface modulate the snow albedo; therefore, they are considered key factors of snow …
Snow that accumulates seasonally in mountain headwaters is traditionally a vast and consistent natural reservoir, providing water as the snow melts in the spring and summer …
