In Vandecrux et al. (****, DOI: ****) we processed and gap-filled weather data from four Greenland Climate network (GCnet) stations: Crawford Point, Dye-2, NASA-SE and Summit. We used these data to force a surface energy and mass balance model coupled with a firn evolution model. In this data package we firstly provide, for each site, our calculations of surface conditions: hourly 2 m air temperature and humidity, 10 m wind speed as well as energy and mass fluxes at the surface. Secondly we give the simulated firn density along with the contributions of its climatic drivers.
