Modeling enhanced firn densification due to strain softening

In the accumulation zone of glaciers and ice sheets snow is transformed into glacial ice by firn densification. Classically, this process is assumed to solely depend on temperature and overburden pressure, which is controlled by the accumulation rate. However, exceptionally thin firn layers have bee...
