ESSIC Assistant Research Scientist Lauren Zamora is the lead author of a recently published study in the European Geosciences Union journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The paper titled “Aerosol indirect effects on the nighttime Arctic Ocean surface from thin, predominantly liquid clouds,” demonstrates a new way to regionally estimate the indirect effects of aerosol on the Arctic surface through remote sensing observations.

Here, the maps show warmer than average water temperatures from January through March 2020, cooler than average from April through June, near average July through September, and slightly warmer than average October through December. The long-term baseline is from the years 2008-2019.]](https://essic.umd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rv-chesapeake2-150x150.jpg)
