Interpreting Air Temperature Trends Across the Antarctic Peninsula Between 1979 and 2025

Abstract The near‐surface temperature of the Antarctic Peninsula is marked by strong spatio‐temporal variability. In situ observations are scarce and therefore have limited spatial coverage. Furthermore, ERA‐5 reanalysis does not have a sufficient spatial resolution to capture th...

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 h...
