Ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland.

The article presents research report on how ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland. Topics include enhanced intrusion of warm Atlantic Waters (AW) into fjords, but this assertion has not been quantitatively tested on a Greenland- wide basis or included in models; and ocean-induced melt from numerical models and in situ data indicate an average melt intensity for the submerged part of the glaciers comparable.
