| Abstract: | Deuterium and tritium measurements were made on firn samples taken along a central axis across Greenland. Accumulation values determined from tritium profiles decrease regularly from 54.7 cm of water per year on the west coast to 18.1 cm of water per year on the east coast. A correlation is demonstrated between the tritium deposition rate and the altitude of the precipitation collection site. |
