Detecting high spatial variability of ice shelf basal mass balance, Roi Baudouin Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Ice shelves control the dynamic mass loss of ice sheets through buttressing and their integrity depends on the spatial variability of their basal mass balance (BMB), i.e. the difference between refreezing and melting. Here, we present an improved technique – based on satellite observations – to...
