Surface energy balance and modeled firn density, Greenland ice sheet, 1998-2015
Recent Arctic atmospheric warming induces more frequent surface melt in the accumulation area of the Greenland ice sheet. This increased melting modifies the near-surface firn structure and density and may reduce the firn’s capacity to retain meltwater. Yet, few long-term observational records are a...
