Abstract
- The article discusses a study which examines the generation of near-surface wind field of Greenland ice sheet. Topics discussed the use of PROMICE data to obtain insight on the interaction between gravity-driven katabatic winds, radiation and air temperature, Greenland ice sheet's average near-surface air temperature, and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Cryosphere Watch.
