Western Greenland Ice Sheet ice temperature profiles, 2010-2012
Basal thermal conditions and temperature structure of the ice are important controls on motion of the Greenland ice sheet. Based on this motivation, temperatures were measured at the ice sheet bed and through the ice column in boreholes drilled to using hot water methods in western Greenland. Boreho...
