Surface mass balance model intercomparison for the Greenland ice sheet

our simulations of the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) are compared over the period 1960-2008. Three use a regional climate model to downscale ECMWF reanalysis (ERA-40) and operational analysis data, while the fourth uses the same inputs but an empirical downscaling appr...
