A First Look at NGRIP Surface Climatology (1997-2001) Using Automatic Weather Station Data

Greenland ice sheet automatic weather station (AWS) data provide high temporal resolution climate information for NGRIP (75.09980° N, 42.3326° W. 2918 m), where a tremendously long ice core climate record is becoming available. In this paper, an overview is made or the surface climatology or NGRIP t...

Description
Summary:Greenland ice sheet automatic weather station (AWS) data provide high temporal resolution climate information for NGRIP (75.09980° N, 42.3326° W. 2918 m), where a tremendously long ice core climate record is becoming available. In this paper, an overview is made or the surface climatology or NGRIP to support work on ice core interpretation using GRIP meteorological observations and snow pits. Valuable perspective is given by comparison of NGRIP climate with other deep ice core sites (Summit and Camp Century), where AWS data are also available. NASA National Science Foundation
