The greatest impacts of climate change on ecosystems, wildlife and humans often arise from
extreme events rather than changes in climatic means. Northern high latitudes, including the …

Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has increased over the last two decades in
response to changes in global climate, motivating the scientific community to question how …

The Arctic climate system includes numerous highly interactive small-scale physical
processes in the atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean. During and since the International Polar …

Understanding the climatological characteristics of marine cold air outbreaks (CAOs) is of
critical importance to constrain the processes determining the heat flux forcing of the high …

Abstract The Iceland and Greenland Seas are a crucial region for the climate system, being
the headwaters of the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation …

Enhanced submarine melting of outlet glaciers has been identified as a plausible trigger for
part of the accelerated mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet,,, which at present accounts …

Greenland rainfall has come into focus as a climate change indicator and from a variety of
emerging cryospheric impacts. This study first evaluates rainfall in five state‐of‐the‐art …

We present measurements from two shipboard surveys conducted in summer 2012 that
sampled the rim current system around the Nordic Seas from Fram Strait to Denmark Strait …

The classic model of fjord renewal is complicated by tidewater glacier fjords, where
submarine melt and subglacial discharge provide substantial buoyancy forcing at depth …
