Modelled firn air content and 10 m firn temperature for the Greenland ice sheet (1960-2016) in NetCDF format

DOI

The firn density, temperature and liquid water content of the Greenland ice sheet have been modelled with the IMAU-FDM firn model. IMAU-FDM is forced at the surface with the latest output of the regional climate model RACMO2.3p2. The data is on a horizontal grid of 11x11 km and covers 1960-2016 with a 10-day temporal resolution.Here, time series of the firn air content (vertically integrated difference between firn and ice density (= 917 kg m-3)) and 10-m firn temperature are provided. All other IMAU-FDM output is available from the authors without conditions.
