Higher Antarctic ice sheet accumulation and surface melt rates revealed at 2 km resolution

Higher Antarctic ice sheet accumulation and surface melt rates revealed at 2 km resolution

Abstract Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) mass loss is predominantly driven by increased solid ice discharge, but its variability is governed by surface processes. Snowfall fluctuations control the surface mass balance (SMB) of the grounded AIS, while meltwater ponding can trigger ice shelf collapse potent...
