Meltwater storage in low-density near-surface bare ice in the Greenland ice sheet ablation zone
We document the density and hydrologic properties of bare, ablating ice in a mid-elevation (1215 m a.s.l.) supraglacial internally drained catchment in the Kangerlussuaq sector of the western Greenland ice sheet. We find low-density (0.43–0.91 g cm −3 , μ = 0.69 g cm −3 ) ice to at least 1.1 m depth...
