Validating ensemble historical simulations of Upernavik Isstrøm (1985–2019) using observations of surface velocity and elevation by Eliot Jager, Fabien Gillet-Chaulet, Jérémie Mouginot, Romain Millan

“…We show that the ice-flow model has to include a reduction in friction in the first 15 km upstream of the ice front in fast-flowing regions to capture the trends observed during the 1985–2019 period. Without this process, the ensemble model overestimates the ice flow before the retreat of the front in 2005 and does not fully reproduce its acceleration during the retreat. …”
