Machine learning of Antarctic firn density by combining radiometer and scatterometer remote-sensing data by W. Li, S. B. M. Veldhuijsen, S. Lhermitte, S. Lhermitte

“…<p>Firn density plays a crucial role in assessing the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. However, our understanding of the spatial and temporal variations in firn density is limited due to (i) spatial and temporal limitations of in situ measurements, (ii) potential modelling uncertainties, and (iii) lack of firn density products driven by satellite remote-sensing data. …”

Stenni, L. Arnaud, M. Casado, A. Cauquoin, G. Dreossi, C. Genthon, B. Minster, G. Picard, M. Werner, A. Landais

“…We first show that water vapour fluxes at the surface of the ice sheet result in a net annual sublimation of snow, from 3.1 to 3.7 mm w.e. yr<span class="inline-formula">⁻¹</span> (water equivalent) between 2018 and 2020, corresponding to 12 % to 15 % of the annual surface mass balance. We find that the precipitation isotopic signal cannot fully explain the mean, nor the variability in the isotopic composition observed in the snow, from annual to intra-monthly timescales. …”
