In this paper, we estimate the contribution of snowdrift sublimation (SU ds ) to the surface mass balance at Neumayer, located on the Ekström ice shelf in Eastern Antarctica. A single column version of the RACMO2-ANT model is used as a physical interpolation tool of high-quality radiosonde and surfa...
