Melt in Antarctica derived from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) observations at L band

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the L-band observations from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite between the austral summer 2010-2011 and 2017-2018.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparisons of snowmelt detected by microwave sensors on the Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica

TL;DR: In this paper, two new microwave sensors, including radiometer and scatterometer, are used to map snowmelt, which is of great importance to the ice sheet's mass and energy balance.

Enhanced winter snowmelt in the Antarctic Peninsula: Automatic snowmelt identification from radar scatterometer

TL;DR: In this article, an automatic snowmelt identification algorithm based on Quick Scatterometer and Advanced Scatterometers was proposed to detect weak melt signals with a wavelet denoising procedure.

Recent changes in pan-Antarctic region surface snowmelt detected by AMSR-E and AMSR2

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spatial and temporal variations of the surface snowmelt over the entire pan-Antarctic as a whole from 2002 to 2017 by using the passive microwave remote sensing data.

Recent Rapid Regional Climate Warming on the Antarctic Peninsula

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the significance of rapid regional (RRR) warming in one area, the Antarctic Peninsula, and discuss several possible candidate mechanisms: changing oceanographic or changing atmospheric circulation, or a regional air-sea-ice feedback amplifying greenhouse warming.

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.

Retreating glacier fronts on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past half-century.

TL;DR: The continued retreat of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula has been widely attributed to recent atmospheric warming, but there has been little published work describing changes in glacier margin positions as discussed by the authors, which suggests that this may not be the sole driver of glacier retreat in this region.
