TL;DR: Continuous Global Positioning System observations reveal rapid and large ice velocity fluctuations in the western ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which suggests that the englacial hydraulic system adjusts constantly to the variable meltwater input, which results in a more or less constant ice flux over the years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that there is no strong positive correlation between annual ice velocities and melt rates, and that annual velocity even slightly decreased with increasing melt.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the summertime daily cycle of the Antarctic surface energy balance (SEB) and its sensitivity to cloud cover, using data of automatic weather stations (AWS) located in four major Antarctic climate zones: the coastal ice shelf, the coastal and interior katabatic wind zone and the interior plateau.

TL;DR: A 21-yr record of surface mass balance measurements along the K-transect is presented in this paper, covering the period 1990 to 2011, with data available at eight sites along a transect over an altitude range of 380-1850 m at approximately 67° N in West Greenland.

TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of the summer surface energy balance at Summit, Greenland are presented, which serve as input to an energy balance model that searches for a surface temperature for which closure of all energy terms is achieved.
