Climatology and Evolution of the Antarctic Peninsula Fohn Wind-induced Melt Regime from 1979-2018

Abstract

Antarctic Peninsula (AP) surface melt has increased in the past half-century in response to anthropogenic increases in surface temperature (Barrand et al., 2013). Surface melt-induced firn air depletion and densification contribute to the hydrofracture process thought to have preceded the collapse of Larsen A and B ice shelves off the eastern coast of the
