We present a computationally simple, theoretically based parameterization for the
broadband albedo of snow and ice that can accurately reproduce the theoretical broadband …

Airborne and satellite remote sensing is the only practical approach for deriving a wide area,
regional assessment of glacier mass balance. A number of remote sensing approaches are …

Understanding the role of atmospheric circulation anomalies on the surface mass balance of
the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is fundamental for improving estimates of its current and …

The future surface mass balance (SMB) will influence the ice dynamics and the contribution
of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to the sea level rise. Most of recent Antarctic SMB projections …

To estimate the sea level rise (SLR) originating from changes in surface mass balance
(SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we present 21st century climate projections …

Greenland ice sheet mass loss has accelerated in the past decade responding to combined
glacier discharge and surface melt water runoff increases. During summer, absorbed solar …

A combined analysis of remote sensing observations, regional climate model (RCM) outputs
and reanalysis data over the Greenland ice sheet provides evidence that multiple records …

Drifting snow, or the wind-driven transport of snow particles and their concurrent
sublimation, is a poorly documented process on the Antarctic ice sheet, inherently lacking in …

The surface energy balance and meltwater production of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) are
modulated by snow and ice albedo through the amount of absorbed solar radiation. Here we …

The Arctic has been suggested to see seasonally ice-free conditions within two-to-three
decades under high-emissions scenarios. However, the time of emergence of the first ice …
