Description
Summary:This document describes the LEGOS-Magellium mass balance dataset for Arctic glacier regions based on satellite gravimetry only. A similar dataset using an a priori based on DEM differencing has been submitted to GLAMBIE (Pfeffer et al., 2024). previously. The dataset submitted here does not use an a priori, but uses only satellite gravimetry data. The total mass balance is evaluated for five regions of the 6th version of the Randolph Glacier Inventory , namely the Arctic Canada North, Arctic Canada South, Iceland, Svalbard, and, Russian Arctic. The total mass balance of Arctic glaciers is evaluated mainly based on satellite gravimetry measurements. An ensemble approach updated from Blazquez et al. (2018) is adopted to evaluate uncertainties associated with the processing and post-processing of GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) and GRACE-FO (GRACE-Follow On) data. The effect of land hydrology is estimated for each region, but not corrected in the total mass balance dataset, because of the small ...
