Recent strengthening of snow and ice albedo feedback driven by Antarctic sea-ice loss

A Riihelä, RM Bright, K Anttila - Nature Geoscience, 2021 - nature.com
The decline of the Arctic cryosphere during recent decades has lowered the region's surface
albedo, reducing its ability to reflect solar radiation back to space. It is not clear what role the …
