Very high resolution surface mass balance of Svalbard with the regional climate model MAR
We present climate and surface mass balance (SMB) results over Svalbard simulated by a new version of the regional climate MAR model allowing to reach ∼km resolution without highly time-consuming runs. Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, has a very hilly topography and, as t...
