A benchmark dataset of in situ Antarctic surface melt rates and energy balance

A benchmark dataset of in situ Antarctic surface melt rates and energy balance

Surface melt on the coastal Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) determines the viability of its ice shelves and the stability of the grounded ice sheet, but very few in situ melt rate estimates exist to date. Here we present a benchmark dataset of in situ surface melt rates and energy balance from nine sites...
