ICED EARTH
Interactions between the CryospherE and Dust in the EARTH system
Funded by CNR/PRA "Programma di Ricerche in Artico" -- ongoing project
Team: Prof. Samuel Albani, Dr. Sujith Krishnakumar
In collaboration with IGE (Grenoble) and LSCE/IPSL (Gif-sur-Yvette), France
In ICED EARTH, deposition of mineral dust and carbonaceous aerosols will be coherently coupled to snow albedo on land in the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Earth System Model (IPSL-ESM). In particular, the project aims at an improved representation of physical processes in the snowpack, through the implementation of a new radiative transfer scheme accounting for the effects of Light Absorbing Particles from aerosol deposition.
