Enhanced light absorption and reduced snow albedo due to internally mixed mineral dust in grains of snow

<p>Mineral dust is a major light-absorbing aerosol, which can significantly reduce snow albedo and accelerate snow/glacier melting via wet and dry deposition on snow. In this study, three scenarios of internal mixing of dust in ice grains were analyzed theoretically by combining asymptotic rad...
