Seasonal Variability of Snow Cover and Impact on Albedo and Thermal Properties in the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone
Snow cover plays a critical yet often underrepresented role in shaping the thermodynamic behavior of Antarctic sea ice. In this study, we investigate the seasonal variability of snow distribution and its impact on surface albedo and energy fluxes across the marginal ice zone (MIZ), using a unique dataset from five shipborne expeditions conducted between 2019 and 2024. High-resolution visible and infrared imagery, combined with field observations and meteorological data, reveal that even modest …

Formation of chromospheric Fe I lines in the near ultraviolet in 1D atmospheres
In the near ultraviolet (NUV) part of the solar spectrum, there are several Fe I lines with very broad profiles, typical of chromospheric lines. These lines are largely unexplored due to the lack of high-resolution data in this region. This changed with the successful Sunrise III flight in 2024, when spectro-polarimetric data were recorded with high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution covering a large variety of solar targets. The aim of this work is to investigate the formation of the l…
