Impact of climate forcing time step in an ice-sheet firn model
The firn layer regulates how an ice sheet responds to atmospheric climate change by modifying how changes in surface temperature, snow accumulation and ablation affect the ice-sheet mass balance. Firn properties are often simulated with a firn densification model. Prior studies have used a variety of time steps in the...
