Opposite Effects of Mineral Dust Nonsphericity and Size on Dust‐Induced Snow Albedo Reduction by Tenglong Shi, Cenlin He, Daizhou Zhang, Xuelei Zhang, Xiaoying Niu, Yuxuan Xing, Yang Chen, Jiecan Cui, Wei Pu, Xin Wang

“…Abstract We quantified the combined effects of mineral dust nonsphericity and size on snow albedo reduction using the MOPSMAP (Modeled optical properties of ensembles of aerosol particles) package and SAMDS (Spectral Albedo Model for Dirty Snow) with the consideration of dust from Sahara, Greenland, San Juan Mountains, and Tibetan Plateau. Results indicate that the dust‐induced albedo reduction decreases by up to 30% as the effective radii of dust particles increase in 1–5 μm. …”
