Physics-based SNOWPACK model improves representation of near-surface Antarctic snow and firn density
<p>Estimates of snow and firn density are required for satellite-altimetry-based retrievals of ice sheet mass balance that rely on volume-to-mass conversions. Therefore, biases and errors in presently used density models confound assessments of ice sheet mass balance and by extension ice sheet...
