Light-Absorbing Impurities on Urumqi Glacier No.1 in Eastern Tien Shan: Concentrations and Implications for Radiative Forcing Estimates During the Ablation Period

Light-Absorbing Impurities on Urumqi Glacier No.1 in Eastern Tien Shan: Concentrations and Implications for Radiative Forcing Estimates During the Ablation Period

Light-absorbing impurities (LAIs) in surface snow and snow pits together with LAIs’ concentrations and their impacts on albedo reduction and sequent radiative forcing (RF) have been investigated in the past. Here, we focused on temporal–spatial distributions of LAIs, especially on the albedo reducti...
