The effects of meltwater, refreezing and modelled grain size on snow albedo: Gaining knowledge from observations at weather stations and numerical modelling

The extent to which snow and ice surfaces undergo melt is mainly dictated by their absorption of shortwave radiation, and thus the surface albedo is a critical parameter for accurately modelling the surface energy balance and mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Multiple variables affect...
