Southeast Greenland Accumulation Rates Derived from Operation IceBridge Snow Radar, 2009-2017

Accumulation rates in Southeast Greenland, defined as the area of 45ºWest to 33ºWest and 60ºNorth to 67ºNorth, were derived from Operation IceBridge Snow radar (https://nsidc.org/data/IRSNO1B/versions/2) for the years 2009-2017. The accumulation rates were derived using Firn Densification Model (FDM...

Description
Summary:Accumulation rates in Southeast Greenland, defined as the area of 45ºWest to 33ºWest and 60ºNorth to 67ºNorth, were derived from Operation IceBridge Snow radar (https://nsidc.org/data/IRSNO1B/versions/2) for the years 2009-2017. The accumulation rates were derived using Firn Densification Model (FDM) density profiles. Each accumulation measurement represents a 10-month period from the last peak melt to the day that the flight was taken and the uncertainty on the measurements is 11%.
