Vital role of daily temperature variability in surface mass balance parameterizations of the Greenland Ice Sheet

This study aims to demonstrate that the spatial and seasonal effects of daily temperature variability in positive degree-day (PDD) models play a decisive role in shaping the modeled surface mass balance (SMB) of continental-scale ice masses. Here we derive monthly fields of daily temperature standar...
