The 1958–2009 Greenland ice sheet surface melt and the mid-tropospheric atmospheric circulation
peer reviewed In order to assess the impact of the mid-tropospheric circulation over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) on surface melt, as simulated by the regional climate model MAR, an automatic Circulation type classification (CTC) based on 500 hPa geopotential height from reanalyses is developed.
