As a result, satellite radars may underestimate snowfall from shallow clouds and incorrectly flag snow virga as snowfall at the surface. Ground-based radar observations provide invaluable tools to assess satellite observations of clouds and precipitation. This study investigates snowfall regimes using observations from 2011 to 2021 at the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement North Slope of Alaska atmospheric observatory. Snowfall events identified in the Ka-band ARM zenith radar (KAZR) are separated into regimes based on the cloud/precipitation layer characteristics: deep snowfall, shallow snowfall, and snow virga. The shallow snowfall regime accounts for nearly half of the regime occurrence (48%) followed by snow virga (28%) and deep snowfall (23%). However, more than half (62%) of the shallow snowfall is likely underestimated and/or undetected within the satellite radar blind zone. Snow virga is incorrectly flagged as snowfall for 7% of the total annual occurrence, but increases to 12% in October. The KAZR regimes and vertical structure are qualitatively compared to collocated CloudSat observations with snow certain/possible flags; the deep and shallow snowfall regime show similarities between the ground-based and spaceborne radar observations. An assessment of observable snowfall occurrence and accumulation at varying reflectivity thresholds in KAZR and CloudSat provide a reference for detection characteristics for current and planned spaceborne radars.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estimates suggest that the number of satellites in an LEO could exceed 60,000 by 2040. The increase in the annual mass flux of anthropogenic material into the upper atmosphere as a result of maintaining these megaconstellations could rival the natural occurring meteoric mass flux. Little is known about the aerosols that will be produced by reentry vaporization, which makes estimating the associated impacts on climate and ozone difficult. Aluminum is a primary satellite component that will likely be emitted during reentry vaporization. In this study we simulate a reentry emission of 10 Gg/yr, assuming that all aerosols released is aluminum oxide (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). This level of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> emission is consistent with expected megaconstellation growth by 2040. We investigate how the location of atmospheric accumulation, aerosol size distribution, and radiative properties of reentry Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> impacts the middle-to-upper atmosphere. We find that depending on reentry latitude and aerosol size distribution, a 20–40-Gg stratospheric burden of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> aerosols accumulates poleward of 30 N/S between 10 and 30 km. Small but statistically significant changes in mesospheric heating rates lead to 1.5 K-temperature anomalies in the mesosphere and the stratosphere at Southern Hemisphere high latitudes. These temperature anomalies are accompanied by a 10% reduction in wind speed in the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex, leading to a weaker springtime ozone hole.

For both variables, over 60% of extreme events are associated with ETCs over northeastern North America (NNA) regardless of the season. When one type of extreme is observed, the probability that it is a compound wind-precipitation extreme reaches up to 40% along the coasts and ocean, and about 20% in the NNA region.

Significant discrepancies exist between the magnitudes of extremes in ERA5 and IMERG; however, both datasets consistently identify ETCs as the primary drivers of extremes in mid-to-high latitudes. Extratropical cyclones tend to have longer-lasting wind extremes (∼6 hr in ERA5) compared to precipitation extremes (∼3 hr in ERA5 and ∼2 hr in IMERG).

These differences can be identified through variations in the relationship between turbulence and wind speed at a given height, known as the HOckey STick (HOST) transition, as compared to the HOST relationship over flat terrain. The transport of cold surface air from elevated uniform terrain reduces downstream air temperature not much air stratification. As terrain slope rises, the increasing cold and heavy air enhances downstream hydrostatic imbalance, resulting in increasing turbulence for a given wind speed. That is, the rate of turbulence increase with wind speed from downslope flow is independent of terrain slope. Upslope large surface roughness elements enhance vertical turbulent mixing, elevating cold surface air from the terrain. Horizontal transport of this elevated, cold, turbulent air layer reduces the downstream upper warm air temperature. Benefiting from the progressive reduction of downstream stable stratification with increasing height in the SBL, wind shear can effectively generate strong turbulence. In addition to the turbulence enhancement from the cold downslope flow, the rate of turbulence increase with wind speed is elevated. This study demonstrates key physical mechanisms for turbulence generation captured by the HOST relationship. It also highlights the influence of terrain features on these mechanisms through deviations from the HOST relationship over flat terrain.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JD041815","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
