<title>Surface melt flux (1999-2009, QuikSCAT, observed, 4.5 km)</title>
<abstract>
Surface meltwater production using an empirical relationship between radar backscatter from the QuikSCAT satellite and melt calculated from in situ energy balance observations. Resolution: ~5 km. Averaging period: 1999–2009. Unit: mm weq yr-1 (= kg m-2 yr-1)
