- Title
Climate of the Greenland ice sheet using a high-resolution climate model - Part 2: Near-surface climate and energy balance.
- Authors
Ettema, J.; van den Broeke, M. R.; van Meijgaard, E.; van de Berg, W. J.
- Abstract
The article evaluates the near-surface climate and energy balance for the Greenland ice sheet using RACMO2/GR regional atmospheric climate model. The absorption of shortwave radiation and the heat flux are discussed. It also tackles the katabatic forcing and the subsidence of potentially warmer free atmosphere air.
