Drifting snow climate of the Greenland ice sheet: a study with a regional climate model

This paper presents the drifting snow climate of the Greenland ice sheet, using output from a high-resolution (∼11 km) regional climate model. Because reliable direct observations of drifting snow do not exist, we evaluate the modeled near-surface climate instead, using automatic weat...
