Firn Permeability

Firn Permeability is a physical property that quantifies the ability of firn to transmit fluids, distinguishing it from other porous media properties by specifically characterizing the ease with which air or meltwater can flow through the interconnected pore spaces within the firn layer under applied pressure gradients.
