Greenland Ice Sheet contribution to sea-level rise from a new-generation ice-sheet model

Consequences of a warmer climate on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass balance will be a thickening inland, due to increased solid precipitation, and a thinning at the GrIS

We have described and demonstrated a new procedure for generating 1850 preindus- trial ice sheet states for use in fully coupled ice-sheet/climate models which results in

We apply the method to calculate depth-averaged ve- locities of the Greenland Ice Sheet, and find that the method produces grid-independent velocity fields for a sufficient

Dashed and dotted blue lines correspond respectively to the raw and to the downscaled CNRM-CM5.1 simulations, red and green solid lines correspond respectively to Crocus

The SMB anomaly projection for k = a/b =− 1 as well as the cumulated sea level rises equivalent are shown in Fig. This record surface mass loss rate is likely to become com- mon at
