摘要: Abstract. By providing pore space for storage or refreezing of meltwater, the Greenland ice sheet firn layer strongly modulates runoff. Correctly representing the firn is therefore crucial Greenland (surface) mass balance studies. Here, we present a simulation with model IMAU-FDM forced by latest output regional climate model RACMO2, version 2.3p2. In percolation zone, much improved agreement found firn density and temperature observations. A full Greenland firn at high temporal (10 days) spatial (11 km) resolution available for period 1960–2016.
