Melting trends over the Greenland ice sheet (1958–2009) from spaceborne microwave data and regional climate models

To study near-surface melt changes over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) since 1979, melt extent estimates from two regional climate models were compared with those obtained from spaceborne microwave brightness temperatures using two different remote sensing algorithms. The results from the two models...
