Picard G, Domine F, Krinner G, Arnaud L, Lefebvre E,. (2012). Inhibition of the positive snow-albedo feedback by precipitation in interior Antarctica. Bachelor's thesis, Nature Publishing Group, .
Abstract: This study uses satellite data to study snow grain size–albedo relationships over the whole Antarctic Plateau. The findings suggest that increased precipitation resulting from climate change will effectively compensate for the decreased albedo that should have resulted from warming, thereby inhibiting the expected ice–albedo feedback.
