Coast-to-interior gradient in recent northwest Greenland precipitation trends (1952–2012)

Coast-to-interior gradient in recent northwest Greenland precipitation trends (1952–2012)

The spatial and temporal variability of precipitation on the Greenland ice sheet is an essential component of surface mass balance, which has been declining in recent years with rising temperatures. We present an analysis of precipitation trends in northwest (NW) Greenland (1952–2012) using instrume...
