The glaciers are located only 30 km apart, but have different local climates; Taylor Glacier is generally drier and windier than Commonwealth Glacier, which receives more snowfall due to its proximity to the coast. Commonwealth Glacier shows more inter-annual melt variability, explained by variable albedo due to summer snowfall events. A significant increase in surface melt at Commonwealth Glacier is associated with a decrease in summer minimum albedo. Inter-annual variability in melt at both glaciers is linked to degree-days above freezing during föhn events, occurring more frequently at Taylor Glacier. At Taylor Glacier melt occurs most often with positive air temperatures, but föhn conditions also favour sublimation, which cools the surface and prevents melt for the majority of the positive air temperatures. At Commonwealth Glacier, most of the melt instead occurs with sub-zero air temperatures, driven by strong solar radiative heating. Future melt at Taylor Glacier will likely be more sensitive to changes in föhn events, while Commonwealth Glacier will be impacted more by changes in near coastal weather, where moisture inputs can drive cloud cover, snowfall and change albedo.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katurji, Marwan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Basit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sprenger, Michael A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Datta, Rajasweta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joy, Kurt</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zawar-Reza, Peyman</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ian Hawes</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meteorological connectivity from regions of high biodiversity within the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antarctica</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">atmosphere</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biosphere-atmosphere interaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mesoscale models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mesoscale processes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">numerical analysis/modeling</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2019</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/58/11/jamc-d-18-0336.1.xml</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2437 - 2452</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Meteorological connectivity between biological hot spots of the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica is thought to play a role in species distribution and abundance through the aeolian transport of bioaerosols. Understanding the potential role of such meteorological connectivity requires an understanding of near-surface wind flow within and between valley airsheds. To address this, we applied Lagrangian wind trajectory modeling to mesoscale (spatial resolution of ~1 km) weather model output to predict connectivity pathways, focusing on regions of high biodiversity. Our models produce maps of a likelihood metric of wind connectivity that demonstrate the synoptic and mesoscale dependence of connections between local, near-local, and nonlocal areas on wind transport, modulated by synoptic weather and topographic forcing. These connectivity areas can have spatial trends modulated by the synoptic weather patterns and locally induced topographically forced winds. This method is transferrable to other regions of Antarctica for broader terrestrial, coastal, and offshore ecological connectivity research. Also, our analysis and methods can inform better placement of aeolian dust and bioaerosol samplers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, provide preliminary guidelines behind the meteorological controls of sediment transport and smaller particle distribution, and present quantifiable knowledge informing new hypotheses around the potential of wind acting as a physical driver for biological connectivity in the MDVs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue></record></records></xml>
