Abstract
- The article presents a study on a firn densification model that simulates Antarctic firn density profiles as well as its temporal evolution and surface height. It mentions the model's utilization of an ameliorated firn densification expression that is adjusted to fit depth-density measurements. It also notes its steady-state and time-dependent model versions which respectively simulate strong variability in firn layer thickness and operate in Antarctic places with various climate conditions.
