Autonomous ice sheet surface mass balance measurements from cosmic rays
Observations of mass accumulation and net balance on glaciers and ice sheets are sparse due to the difficulty of acquiring manual measurements and the lack of a reliable remote-sensing method. The methodology for recording the water-equivalent accumulation of snowfall using the attenuation of fa...
