Fig. 5: Comparison between surface meltwater area and modelled snowmelt.
From: Continent-wide mapping shows increasing sensitivity of East Antarctica to meltwater ponding
a, The relationship between monthly surface meltwater area and monthly RACMO modelled snowmelt, integrated across the EAIS (black), WAIS (blue) and AP (red). Statistically significant (P < 0.05) results from linear regression are displayed for the EAIS (P = 2.8 × 10−5) and WAIS (P = 7.5 × 10−13). The different symbols indicate the month (November–February) of each data point. b, Time series of surface meltwater area (black) and modelled snowmelt (red) across the EAIS, for the months of November–February each melt season.
