Ice shelves play an essential role in the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The surface meltwater is important, as it can irreversibly weaken ice shelves by exerting additional hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, high-resolution snowmelt products are urgently needed to accurately analyze melting pat...
