Greenland ice sheet albedo feedback: thermodynamics and atmospheric drivers

Greenland ice sheet albedo feedback: thermodynamics and atmospheric drivers

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 energy, modulated at the surface primarily by albedo, is the dominant factor governing surface melt variability in the...
