A Snow Density Dataset for Improving Surface Boundary Conditions in Greenland Ice Sheet Firn Modeling
The surface snow density of glaciers and ice sheets is of fundamental importance in converting volume to mass in both altimetry and surface mass balance studies, yet it is often poorly constrained. Site-specific surface snow densities are typically derived from empirical relations based on temperatu...
