Surface albedo is critical to understanding the Earth's energy balance. It emerges that snow grain shape and internal mixing of impurities are both important to getting this right, but until now these have not been incorporated into Earth System Models. This paper appears to be the first time that these effects have been included in an Earth System Model.

Short summary
Snow with the highest albedo of land surface plays a vital role in Earth’s surface energy budget and water cycle. This study accounts for the impacts of snow grain shape and mixing state of light-absorbing particles with snow on snow albedo in the E3SM land model. The findings advance our understanding of the role of snow grain shape and mixing state of LAP–snow in land surface processes and offer guidance for improving snow simulations and radiative forcing estimates in Earth system models.
