This dataset summarizes work done to predict the presence of perennial firn aquifers (PFA) and buried lakes in and on the Greenland ice sheet using satellite-based remote sensing observations (specifically, differences in two wavelengths of passive microwave data observed by Advanced Microwave Scann...
