Short summary
Accurate maps of snowfall over the Greenland ice sheet are essential for reliable projections of future sea-level rise. Climate models often struggle to capture realistic snowfall patterns, leading to significant long-term errors. We present a new method that corrects these errors using over two million observations. The corrected snowfall maps can help to reduce uncertainty in sea-level rise projections and improve understanding of Greenland’s proximity to irreversible melting thresholds.
