Abstract: AbstractRegional model simulations of the 10?13 July 2012 extreme melt event over the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) are used to investigate how low-level liquid-bearing clouds impact surface energy fluxes, and therefore the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays a crucial role in the Arctic climate, and atmospheric conditions are the primary modifier of mass balance. This analysis establishes the relationship between large-scale atmospheric ...

Abstract: AbstractClouds are a key regulator of Earth?s surface energy balance. The presence or absence of clouds, along with their macroscale and microscale characteristics, is the primary factor modulating the amount of radiation ...

Abstract: paceborne lidar observations from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) provide the first-ever observations of cloud vertical structure and phase over the entire Greenland icesheet. ...

Abstract: he surface energy budget plays a critical role in determining the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet, which in turn has significant implications for global sea levels. Nearly three years of data (January 2011?October ...

Abstract: atmospheric properties strongly influence the mass and energy budgets of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). To address critical gaps in the understanding of these systems, a new suite of cloud- and atmosphere-observing instruments ...
