Advances in satellite remote sensing monitoring of Antarctic Ice Sheet mass changes

The Antarctic Ice Sheet's mass balance has a significant impact on global sea level change. Improving the precision of mass balance estimation over the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet is critical for predicting global sea level rise. The advancement of satellite technology, particularly polar observation satellites, will help us understand and protect the ice sheet. Studying the Antarctic Ice Sheet's response to the global climate change and its feedback mechanism is also critical for increasing the scientific understanding of Antarctica. This review paper summarizes the development of various Antarctic monitoring satellites as well as remote sensing data products that are currently available. At the same time, it discusses techniques for satellite monitoring and estimation methods for mass balance in Antarctica. Finally, recommendations for satellite observation techniques and methodology development are provided to improve the capability of long-term monitoring and prediction of ice sheet changes.
