Surface mass balance of the Ross Ice Shelf from stable water isotopes, ground penetrating radar, and back trajectory analyses
Precipitation in Antarctica, described by the surface mass balance (SMB), is the largest positive constituent of ice sheet mass balance, thus plays a key role in the Antarctic, hence global climate. Due to spatial and temporal scarcity of ground-based observations, there remain many unknowns about t...
