Snowfall and snow accumulation during the MOSAiC winter and spring seasons

David N. Wagner et al.

Summary: Data from the MOSAiC expedition provided detailed information on the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation, and erosion in the Arctic. Comparison of different measurement instruments revealed their strengths and weaknesses in measuring precipitation.

New climate models reveal faster and larger increases in Arctic precipitation than previously projected

Michelle R. McCrystall et al.

Summary: As the Arctic continues to warm at a faster rate compared to the rest of the planet, the hydrological cycle intensifies with increased precipitation and evaporation, leading to a projected earlier transition from a snow- to rain-dominated Arctic in the summer and autumn at potentially lower levels of global warming. The latest CMIP6 models show a faster Arctic warming and sea-ice loss, highlighting the need for increased attention to the environmental changes happening in the region.

In Situ Determination of Dry and Wet Snow Permittivity: Improving Equations for Low Frequency Radar Applications

Ryan W. Webb et al.

Summary: Traditional equations for estimating snow water equivalent (SWE) and liquid water content (LWC) can lead to significant errors under different snowpack conditions. Further in situ validation is needed for the dielectric constant study of seasonal snow to accurately observe changes in SWE.

Trends and spatial variation in rain-on-snow events over the Arctic Ocean during the early melt season

Tingfeng Dou et al.

Summary: Through the study of four reanalysis products, it was found that the timing of rain-on-snow events in the Arctic Ocean has shifted to earlier dates in recent decades, leading to a correlation between sea ice melt onset and this shift. The transition from solid to liquid precipitation in spring has resulted in more ROS events, although significant discrepancies were found between different reanalysis products.
