Brief communication: Evaluation of the near-surface climate in ERA5 over the Greenland Ice Sheet by A. Delhasse, C. Kittel, C. Amory, S. Hofer, S. Hofer, D. van As, R. S. Fausto, X. Fettweis

“…However, so far little is known about the performance of ERA5 over the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). In this study, we compare the near-surface climate from the new ERA5 reanalysis to ERA-Interim, the Arctic System Reanalysis (ASR) as well as to a state-of-the-art polar regional climate model (MAR). …”
