Increased Greenland melt triggered by large-scale, year-round cyclonic moisture intrusions
<p>Surface melting is a major driver of Greenland's mass loss. Yet, the mechanisms that trigger melt are still insufficiently understood because seasonally based studies blend processes initiating melt with positive feedbacks. Here, we focus on the triggers of melt by examining the synopt...
