Atmospheric Drivers and Surface Observations of the Extreme Streamflow Event during August 2023 in Pituffik, Greenland

Abstract

AbstractAtmospheric blocking events over Greenland have been linked to sudden, rapid melt of the Greenland ice sheet. The runoff from the ice sheet, and subsequent flow in local rivers, can also be sudden, extreme, and damaging to local civil ...Practical ApplicationsThe practical implication of this work is that for surface water management and civil infrastructure subject to flooding in the vicinity of the Greenland ice sheet, traditional approaches to estimating surface runoff from ...
