a Record of incident shortwave radiation and daily mean surface albedo with associated temporal trends before and after the cloudy conditions on day of year (DOY) 209. b Air temperature over the 9-day study period. c Estimated ice melt according to a simple point-based energy balance model (see Methods). d The derived weathering crust hydraulic conductivity (K) values for 26 and 36 cm deep auger holes. e Microbial abundance in the recharge water samples associated with individual bail-recharge experiments; note the 105 cells mL−1 threshold (dashed line) used to define samples as outliers (see Methods).
