- Abstract
The article presents a novel method for determining the mass balance of the ice sheet derived from the ICESat altimetry data in Greenland from 2003-2008. It discusses interpolation, sampling and firn density which are considered as important factors that contribute to the mass change derived from remote-sensing altimetry. It concludes that the factors that contribute to the mass change perform effectively which resulted into massive ice thinning.
