Observations of near-surface firn density and ice layer stratigraphy collected on the Greenland ice sheet are rare. This dataset contains information about twenty-four shallow firn cores drilled in the percolation zone in southwest Greenland between 2017 and 2019. Seven cores ranged between 2.9 and...
