Anomalous Circulation in July 2019 Resulting in Mass Loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet ...
Current mass loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) includes a significant contribution fromsurface runoff. The circumstances associated with melt events are important for understanding the globalsea level contribution of the GrIS. In late July 2019, surface melt occurred over 62% of the GrIS, inclu...
