Modelling firn thickness evolution during the last deglaciation: constraints on sensitivity to temperature and impurities

The transformation of snow into ice is a complex phenomenon that is difficult to model. Depending on surface temperature and accumulation rate, it may take several decades to millennia for air to be entrapped in ice. The air is thus always younger than the surrounding ice. The resulting gas–ice...
