Improving predictions of fresh water loss from Arctic glaciers by optimizing melt water refreezing schemes in firn
Research project from 2015-01-01 to 2018-12-31
There are several forms of uncertainties in the predictive modeling of glacial mass balance. One of these uncertainties is to what degree melt water will refreeze, advect latent heat into, and stay as ...
