The roles of föhn and katabatic winds in ice sheet surface melt
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass that contributes to sea level rise. Föhn and katabatic winds (downslope winds) can enhance surface melt that can run off into the ocean directly affecting sea level rise and can destabilize ice shelves that provide a buttress force to grounded i...
