5.2 EXTREME PRECIPITATION EVENTS OVER GREENLAND: CONSEQUENCES TO ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE

Greenland, Earth’s largest island (2.17 x 106 km2), is 81 % covered by 3.2 x 106 cubic kilometers (km3) of frozen precipitation. Of the ~600 km3 annual total mass input by precipitation, ~500 km3 remains after the wind
