| Summary: | Firn temperatures from the Greenland ice sheet have been collected, analyzed and combined to perform results concerning selected locations and the entire ice sheet. The purpose has been to investigate whether the recent atmospheric warming observed at the Greenland ice sheet has impacted the snow and firn temperature. Factors such as depth, average snowfall and air temperature have been taken into account using linear regression models to obtain useful results. Uncertainties and lack of data points leaches the results, but both local and global indications of climate changes have been shown. |
