“…The Sierra Nevada snowpack generally receives sufficient BC and other light-absorbing aerosols to affect the energy balance in an appreciable manner (Dang and Hegg, 2014;Hadley et al, 2010;Sterle et al, 2013). The albedo of the natural snowpack measured during this study indicates the presence of absorbing impurities without artificial deposition of BrC: a hypothetical pure snow spectral albedo -holding other input parameters constant, modeled through SNICAR -would have an albedo near 0.98 at 350 nm.…”

“…Skiles et al (2017) developed a method to determine κ for dusts found in the snow of Colorado mountains in high concentrations, but there has been no similar study performed for impurities in Sierra Nevada snow, where sources are much different. Sterle et al (2013) found dust mass concentrations in the upper 30 cm of snow in the eastern Sierra Nevada to be between 1 and 44 ppm in the 2008-2009 winter season, which is not insignificant. Here, we made no attempt to measure the concentrations of mineral dust, BC, or other inorganic material in Sierra Nevada snow.…”

“…The SSA at a given wavelength of a spherical homogeneous particle depends on the refractive index and on particle size. Extensive discussions of this have been recently given by Sorensen et al () and by Moosmuler and Sorensen (, ). Figure a shows SSA at 405 nm for several refractive indices of BC with diameters of the spherical particle from 10 to 500 nm.…”

“…whereis the real part andis the imaginary part of the refractive index, the latter of which provides the primary control of the absorption coefficient (Sorensen et al, 2019). The imaginary part of the BrC refractive index (i.e., -) increases greatly toward shorter wavelength in the visible and near-UV spectrum, giving BrC its colored appearance and namesake (Andreae and Gelencsér, 2006).…”
