The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is a large store of freshwater in the global climate system. Freshwater is discharged from the GrIS into the ocean in three forms: 1) solid ice, through the calving of icebergs; 2) surface melt and runoff, as liquid water through above-sea-level melt and supraglacial s...
