Monitoring glacier albedo as a proxy to derive summer and annual surface mass balances from optical remote-sensing data
Less than 0.25 % of the 250 000 glaciers inventoried in the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI V.5) are currently monitored with in situ measurements of surface mass balance. Increasing this archive is very challenging, especially using time-consuming methods based on in situ measurements, and comp...
