The modelled surface mass balance of the Antarctic Peninsula at 5.5 km horizontal resolution

The modelled surface mass balance of the Antarctic Peninsula at 5.5 km horizontal resolution

This study presents a high-resolution (∼  5.5 km) estimate of surface mass balance (SMB) over the period 1979–2014 for the Antarctic Peninsula (AP), generated by the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2.3 and a firn densification model (FDM). RACMO2.3 is used to force the FDM, which calculates...
