Meltwater Penetration Through Temperate Ice Layers in the Percolation Zone at DYE‐2, Greenland Ice Sheet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Meltwater retention in the firn layer of the Greenland Ice Sheet has the potential to buffer sea level rise due to ice sheet melt. The capacity of the firn layer to store meltwater is unclear, however, because refrozen ice layers can act as impermeable barriers to meltwater percolation, promoting runoff rather than retention. We present time domain reflectometry and thermistor data, which demonstrate that meltwater successfully penetrates ice layers up to 12 cm thick in the near‐surface firn at DYE‐2, Greenland. Our observations indicate that ice layers within polar firn can be permeable when summer warming and latent heat release from meltwater refreezing raise firn temperatures to the melting point. The extent and depth of refreezing, as determined by the coupled thermodynamic and hydrological evolution in the firn, are more important than the presence of ice layers in governing meltwater infiltration and retention at our study site.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
