Ridley, J. (1993). Surface melting on Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves detected by passive microwave sensors. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/93GL02611. issn: 0094-8276.

A 13 year time series of spaceborne passive microwave radiance measurements over the Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves, reveals a systematic increase in the duration of the summer melt season. Combined with data from meteorological stations on the Antarctic Peninsula, the annual motion and long-term trends of the 0 ¿C isotherm can be monitored. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
