Light-absorption of dust and elemental carbon in snow in the Indian Himalayas and the Finnish Arctic

Light-absorption of dust and elemental carbon in snow in the Indian Himalayas and the Finnish Arctic

Light-absorbing impurities (LAIs) deposited in snow have the potential to substantially affect the snow radiation budget, with subsequent implications for snow melt. To more accurately quantify the snow albedo, the contribution from different LAIs needs to be assessed. Here we estimate the main...
