Precipitation Trends in Greenland During the Past Thirty Years

Abstract The record of annual precipitation as obtained from stratigraphic studies on snow profiles in the interior of northern Greenland made in 1954 by SIPRE personnel shows a decreasing precipitation trend since 1920 with the largest decrease occurring since 1932. A residual mass curve analysis o...
