Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest, highest, coldest, driest, and windiest ice sheet on
Earth. Understanding of the surface mass balance (SMB) of Antarctica is necessary to …

Abstract The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Operation IceBridge
(OIB) was a 13‐year (2009–2021) airborne mission to survey land and sea ice across the …

Different parts of Antarctica receive different amounts of snowfall each year. In this paper we
map the variations of the mean annual snow accumulation across the ice sheet. We also …

Recent in situ measurements of surface mass balance and improved calculation techniques
are used to produce an updated assessment of net surface mass balance over Antarctica. A …

September 2007 marked a record minimum in sea ice extent. While there have been many
studies published recently describing the minimum and its causes, little is known about how …

Megadune fields occupy large areas in the interior of the East Antarctic ice sheet and are the
result of unusual snow accumulation and redistribution processes. They therefore are …

This study compares high‐resolution helicopter‐borne radar measurements to extensive
ground‐based profiling of the snow cover on Findel‐and Adler Glacier, Switzerland. The …

To simulate the impact of drifting snow on the lower atmosphere, surface characteristics and
surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic ice sheet regional atmospheric climate model …

In Antarctica, uncertainties in mass input and output translate directly into uncertainty in
glacier mass balance and thus in sea level impact. While remotely sensed observations of …
