Long-lived halocarbon trends and budgets from atmospheric chemistry modelling constrained with measurements in polar firn [PDF]
The budgets of seven halogenated gases (CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC-115, CCl<sub>4</sub> and SF<sub>6</sub>) are studied by comparing measurements in polar firn air from two Arctic and three Antarctic sites, and ...

Modeling heat, mass, and species transport in polar firn [PDF]
A finite-element model for simulating multi-dimensional air flow with heat, mass and chemical species transport through firn is discussed. The model is applied to an investigation of near-surface layering effects on ventilation rates. Field measurements of permeability at Summit, Greenland, are presented that show that permeability varies by at least a

20th century trends and budget implications of chloroform and related tri-and dihalomethanes inferred from firn air [PDF]
Four trihalomethane (THM; CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl and CHBr3) and two dihalomethane (DHM; CH2BrCl and CH2Br2) trace gases have been measured in air extracted from polar firn collected at the North Greenland Icecore Project (NGRIP) site.

Kinetic grain growth in firn induced by meltwater infiltration on the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The microstructure of polar firn governs its porosity, permeability, and compaction rate, and is thus critical to understanding surface elevation change, heat and gas exchange, and meltwater infiltration on ice sheets.

Spatial distribution of vertical density and microstructure profiles in near-surface firn around Dome Fuji, Antarctica [PDF]
To better understand the near-surface evolution of polar firn in low-accumulation areas (<30 mm w.e. yr−1), we investigated the physical properties – density, microstructural anisotropy of ice matrix and pore space, and specific surface area (SSA ...

Probing the firn refractive index profile using antenna response
The Radio Neutrino Observatory-Greenland (RNO-G, at Summit Station) experiment comprises an extensive fat-dipole antenna array deployed into ice boreholes over an eventual area of approximately 35 km2.
