Present-day and future Greenland Ice Sheet precipitation frequency from CloudSat observations and the Community Earth System Model

<p>The dominant mass input component of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is precipitation, whose amounts and phase are poorly constrained by observations. Here we use spaceborne radar observations from CloudSat to map the precipitation frequency and phase on the GrIS, and we use those observatio...
