Abstract: Firn is partially compacted granular snow, the intermediate stage between fresh snow and the underlying glacial ice. It has a depth-increasing density which results from the densification and metamorphosis of snow into glacial ice. Through burial by subsequent accumulation, the overburdened weight compacts the snow and reduces poros ity by grain packing, deformation, and sintering (Alley, 1987;Cuffey & Paterson, 2010). The depth-density profile is controlled primarily by the temperature and snow accumulation r… Show more
