Albedo reduction of ice caused by dust and black carbon accumulation: a model applied to the K-transect, West Greenland
Surface melt in the ablation zone is dominated by atmospheric temperature and surface albedo. We developed a surface mass-balance model with a dynamic component of glacier ice albedo which includes surface properties, clouds and the angle of the sun. The ice albedo reduction is mainly caused by impu...
