Significant spatial variability in radar‐derived west Antarctic accumulation linked to surface winds and topography
ME Dattler, JTM Lenaerts… - Geophysical Research …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Across the Antarctic Ice Sheet, accumulation heavily influences firn compaction and
surface height changes. Therefore, accumulation varies over short distances (< 25 km) …
