Scientists also recorded melt events on the ice sheet in 2019, 2012, and 1995. Before then, "melting is inferred from ice cores to have been absent since an event in the late 1800s," the center said.
A stunning new study delves into the depths of the increase in rainfall seen in Greenland and the global implications it has for melting the massive ice sheets, especially during winter time.
According to the study, about one-third of melting and runoff was a result of rain. An increase in rainfall in Greenland is causing its ice to melt at an accelerated pace, even in the winter.
Rain is becoming more frequent in Greenland and accelerating the melting of its ice, a new study has found. Scientists say they're "surprised" to discover rain falling even during the long Arctic ...
Before and after satellite images showing the impact of rain on the Greenland ice sheet. The cloud-free image was acquired on Aug. 12, 2021 while the rainy one was acquired on Aug. 15, 2021.
Rain fell at the highest point on Greenland's ice sheet -- possibly for the first time -- in an event Danish scientists on Monday said was most likely driven by climate change.
Greenland’s ice sheet experienced temperatures above freezing for about nine hours on Aug. 14, allowing rain to fall.
