Surface Melt Processes

Surface Melt Processes is a geophysical phenomenon that encompasses the mechanisms and dynamics of snow and ice phase transitions at the air-snow and snow-ice interfaces due to energy exchange with the atmosphere, specifically distinguishing itself through its role in modulating albedo, hydrology, and structural evolution of sea ice in polar climate systems.
