Impact of coastal East Antarctic ice rises on surface mass balance: insights from observations and modeling
<p>About 20 % of all snow accumulation in Antarctica occurs on the ice shelves. There, ice rises control the spatial surface mass balance (SMB) distribution by inducing snowfall variability and wind erosion due to their topography. Moreover these ice rises buttress the ice flow and...
