Seasonal changes of ice surface characteristics and productivity in the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Field and remote sensing observations in the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet have revealed a diverse range of ice surface characteristics, primarily reflecting the variable distribution of fine debris (cryoconite). This debris reduces the surface albedo and is therefore an important control...
