Short summary
We examine how extreme precipitation days affect the seasonal mass balance (SMB) of land ice in Greenland and the Eastern Canadian Arctic in historical and future simulations. Past extreme precipitation led to higher SMB with snowfall. Future extreme precipitation may lead to the loss of ice mass as more falls as rain rather than snow in some regions, such as southwestern Greenland. Across the region, extreme precipitation becomes more important to seasonal SMB in the future, warmer climate.
