SPIReS snow albedo are derived using a lookup table that incorporates snow grain size, dust concentration, and surface illumination (Bair et al., 2019). After the fSCA, grain size, and dust ...

The melting of ice sheets and glaciers has significantly increased in recent decades and when certain thresholds are crossed, these melting mechanisms can reinforce themselves, accelerating this ...
