TL;DR: There is good agreement between different satellite methods—especially in Greenland and West Antarctica—and that combining satellite data sets leads to greater certainty, and the mass balance of Earth’s polar ice sheets is estimated by combining the results of existing independent techniques.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ice-Shelf Melting Around Antarctica
TL;DR: Detailed glaciological estimates of ice-shelf melting around the entire continent of Antarctica show that basal melting accounts for as much mass loss as does calving, making ice- shelf melting the largest ablation process in Antarctica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating
TL;DR: Satellite data is presented showing that ice shelves in many regions around the edge of Antarctica are losing mass, which increases concern about how fast sea level might rise as climate continues to warm.

Retrieval of subpixel snow covered area, grain size, and albedo from MODIS
TL;DR: In this article, a model that retrieves fractional snow-covered area and the grain size and albedo of that snow from surface reflectance data (product MOD09GA) acquired by NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is presented.

SBDART: A Research and Teaching Software Tool for Plane-Parallel Radiative Transfer in the Earth's Atmosphere.
TL;DR: The code is a marriage of a sophisticated discrete ordinate radiative transfer module, low-resolution atmospheric transmission models, and Mie scattering results for light scattering by water droplets and ice crystals that are well suited for a wide variety of atmospheric radiative energy balance and remote sensing studies.

Optical Properties of Snow
TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of snow albedo on wavelength, zenith angle, grain size, impurity content, and cloud cover can be interpreted in terms of single scattering and multiple scattering radiative transfer theory.

TL;DR: A review of reflectance nomenclature used in remote sensing can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight the importance of a proper usage of definitions through quantitative comparison of different reflectance products with special emphasis on wavelength dependent effects.

TL;DR: In this article, a global network of ground control points is used to determine biases and trends in the sensor orientation for geolocation of MODIS data to approximately 150 m (1r) at nadir.
