Abstract Global ocean circulation regulates climate and has undergone significant changes over the Cenozoic. Today, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is driven by North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation and Southern Ocean upwelling.

Abstract Perennial firn aquifers in the Greenland ice sheet are known to form and persist in regions of sufficiently high melt rates and accumulation rates throughout the year. However, it is not clear how seasonal to sub‐seasonal variations in surface melt forcings affect the dynamics of melt recharge into a firn aquifer and the accompanying ...

East Greenland Ice Sheet retreat history from Scoresby Sund and Storstrømmen Glacier during the last deglaciation [PDF]
The lack of geological constraints on past ice-sheet change in marine-based sectors of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) following the Last Glacial Maximum limits our ability to assess (1) the drivers of ice-sheet change, and (2) the performance of ice ...

Impacts of Atmospheric Rivers in Central Greenland: Snowfall, Clouds, and Atmospheric State
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long bands of strong horizontal water vapor transport responsible for over 90% of total integrated vapor transport (IVT) in extratropical and polar regions. Using a 12‐year record (2010–2022) of ground‐based remote sensing, radiosonde, snow stake, and reanalysis data from Summit Station, Greenland, we quantify the ...

The extreme melt across the Greenland ice sheet in 2012
The discovery of the 2012 extreme melt event across almost the entire surface of the Greenland ice sheet is presented. Data from three different satellite sensors – including the Oceansat‐2 scatterometer, the Moderate‐resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer,

Abstract Coupled climate‐ice‐sheet modeling is still in its developing stage, and feedback processes between ice sheets and climate are still not yet fully understood. Here, we use simulations with a coupled climate‐ice‐sheet model to investigate teleconnections between Northern Hemispheric ice sheets and the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) without direct ...

Evidence of local and regional freshening of Northeast Greenland coastal waters
The supply of freshwater to fjord systems in Greenland is increasing as a result of climate change-induced acceleration in ice sheet melt. However, insight into the marine implications of the melt water is impaired by lack of observations demonstrating ...
