We gathered observations of firn air content, indicative of the space available in the firn to retain meltwater, and find that this air content remained stable in cold regions of the firn over the last 65 years but recently decreased significantly in western Greenland. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/307785 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/307785/files/mac_fdc.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.5194/tc-13-845-2019 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined The Cryosphere. - 2019, vol. 13, no. 3, p. 845–859 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/551 Firn data compilation reveals widespread decrease of firn air content in western Greenland http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
