Atmospheric summer teleconnections and Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass variations: insights from MERRA-2

Atmospheric summer teleconnections and Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass variations: insights from MERRA-2

The relationship between leading atmospheric teleconnection patterns and Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) temperature, precipitation, and surface mass balance (SMB) are investigated for the last 36 summers (1979–2014) based on Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 reana...
