Comparing simple albedo scaling methods for estimating Arctic glacier mass balance

Mass balance measurements in the Canadian Arctic are limited, particularly for smaller glaciers, which introduces significant uncertainties in regional mass balance assessment. Here we report on the correlations between Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra albedo measurements (Version 6) and net annual mass balance for five glaciers in the Canadian Arctic over the period 2002–2016. Three glacier albedo aggregation methods...
