Gridded temperature and accumulation distributions for Greenland for use in cryospheric models

Gridded distributions of the annual mean temperature and annual total accumulation for Greenland are presented. They are objectively derived by deterministic and statistical interpolation from measurements at coastal stations and at locations on the ice sheet. They can be used not only for driving c...

Description
Summary:Gridded distributions of the annual mean temperature and annual total accumulation for Greenland are presented. They are objectively derived by deterministic and statistical interpolation from measurements at coastal stations and at locations on the ice sheet. They can be used not only for driving cryospheric models, but also for verifying atmospheric simulations.
