West Antarctic Surface Mass Balance: Do Synoptic Scale Modes of Climate Contribute to Observed Variability?

Western Antarctica has been experiencing significant warming for at least the past fifty years. While higher Net Surface Mass Balance (SMB) over West Antarctica during this period of warming is expected, SMB reconstructions from ice cores reveal a more complex pattern during the period of warming. T...
