Water content of firn at Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard, derived from subsurface temperature measurements
The potential of capillary forces to retain water in pores is an important property of snow and firn at glaciers. Meltwater suspended in pores does not contribute to runoff and may refreeze during winter, which can affect the climatic mass balance and the subsurface density and temperature. However,...
