Firn cold content evolution at nine sites on the Greenland ice sheet between 1998 and 2017

Firn cold content evolution at nine sites on the Greenland ice sheet between 1998 and 2017

Current sea-level rise partly stems from increased surface melting and meltwater runoff from the Greenland ice sheet. Multi-year snow, also known as firn, covers about 80% of the ice sheet and retains part of the surface meltwater. Since the firn cold content integrates its physical and thermal char...
