Moisture transport in observations and reanalyses as a proxy for snow accumulation in East Antarctica

<p>Atmospheric moisture convergence on ice sheets provides an estimate of snow accumulation, which is critical to quantifying sea-level changes. In the case of East Antarctica, we computed moisture transport from 1980 to 2016 in five reanalyses and in radiosonde observations. Moisture converge...
