The update, posted on July 1, reads: “Spring melting over Greeland was near the long-term average, and concentrated along the southern coast, where extent was slightly above average.
“Although snowfall contribution to the ice sheet was below average early in the year, a significant snowfall event in early to mid-June brought the ice sheet close to balance, delaying the rapid early surface mass loss seen in recent years.
“A large melt event began on June 21, 2020, which will be discussed in a future post.”
Ms King and fellow researchers analysed monthly satellite data from more than 200 large glaciers melting into the surrounding oceans.
