• The Determination of the Snow Optical Grain Diameter and Snowmelt Area on the Greenland Ice Sheet Using Spaceborne Optical Observations 

      Vandecrux, Baptiste; Box, Jason E.; Wehrlé, Adrien; Kokhanovsky, Alexander A.; Picard, Ghislain; Niwano, Masashi; Hörhold, Maria; Faber, Anne-Katrine; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The optical diameter of the surface snow grains impacts the amount of energy absorbed by the surface and therefore the onset and magnitude of surface melt. Snow grains respond to surface heating through grain metamorphism ...
