New study: Reanalyses in cold regions are 90% less accurate vs. other areas, likely due to sparse data.
This has big implications for climate science and Arctic services. ❄️🧊🌎

New method detects ground ice in #permafrost
Using SIP-derived dielectric relaxation time (10–400 µs) can reduce the ambiguity seen in other geophysical methods.
Field-tested in Yukon, Canada.

How can we better model global soil carbon?
New research uses Bayesian optimization & sensitivity analysis to improve SOC predictions in biosphere models, but data gaps, especially in boreal forests, remain a challenge: doi.org/10.1029/2024MS004577 #SoilScience #ClimateModels #SOC
