They also used a physically based computer model of the hydrologic cycle, which takes daily weather observations and computes the snow accumulation, melting, and runoff to estimate the total snowpack in the western U.S.

We will continue our 3D higher - order flow modeling of the glacier, specifically to help us constrain a depth - age relationship for the core to help assess snow accumulation rates.

Don't infer the snow accumulation history from NOAA's climate change models, because that history doesn't correlate with NOAA's own published data on timing of snow accumulation rates near the poles.

The study focused on modeling frost and snow related land surface processes, such as frost churning, palsa mires and snow accumulation sites.

To determine how much ice and snowfall enters a specific ice shelf and how much makes it to an iceberg, where it may split off, the research team used a regional climate model for snow accumulation and combined the results with ice velocity data from satellites, ice shelf thickness measurements from NASA's Operation IceBridge — a continuing aerial survey of Earth's poles — and a new map of Antarctica's bedrock.
