Recent Antarctic ice mass loss from radar interferometry and regional climate modelling
- E. Rignot, E. Rignot, +6 authors E. Meijgaard
- Geology
- 1 February 2008
Observed estimates of ice losses in Antarctica combined with regional modelling of ice accumulation in the interior suggest that East Antarctica is close to a balanced mass budget, but large losses… Expand
Acceleration of the contribution of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to sea level rise
- E. Rignot, E. Rignot, +4 authors J. Lenaerts
- Geology
- 16 March 2011
[1] Ice sheet mass balance estimates have improved substantially in recent years using a variety of techniques, over different time periods, and at various levels of spatial detail. Considerable… Expand
Higher surface mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet revealed by high-resolution climate modeling.
- J. Ettema, M. V. D. Broeke, +4 authors R. Bales
- Environmental Science
- 1 June 2009
[1] High-resolution (∼11 km) regional climate modeling shows total annual precipitation on the Greenland ice sheet for 1958–2007 to be up to 24% and surface mass balance up to 63% higher than… Expand
An improved mass budget for the Greenland ice sheet
- E. M. Enderlin, E. M. Enderlin, +4 authors M. V. D. Broeke
- Geology
- 1 December 2013
Extensive ice thickness surveys by NASA’s Operation IceBridge enable over a decade of ice discharge measurements at high precision for the majority of Greenland’s marine-terminating outlet glaciers,… Expand
Calving fluxes and basal melt rates of Antarctic ice shelves
- M. Depoorter, J. Bamber, +4 authors G. Moholdt
- Geology, Medicine
- Nature
- 3 October 2013
Iceberg calving has been assumed to be the dominant cause of mass loss for the Antarctic ice sheet, with previous estimates of the calving flux exceeding 2,000 gigatonnes per year. More recently, the… Expand
Estimating the Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance contribution to future sea level rise using the regional atmospheric climate model MAR
- X. Fettweis, B. Franco, +4 authors H. Gallée
- Environmental Science
- 2 August 2012
Abstract. To estimate the sea level rise (SLR) originating from changes in surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we present 21st century climate projections obtained with the… Expand
A new, high‐resolution surface mass balance map of Antarctica (1979–2010) based on regional atmospheric climate modeling
- J. Lenaerts, M. V. D. Broeke, W. J. V. D. Berg, E. Meijgaard, P. K. Munneke
- Geology
- 1 February 2012
A new, high resolution (27 km) surface mass balance (SMB) map of the Antarctic ice sheet is presented, based on output of a regional atmospheric climate model that includes snowdrift physics and is… Expand
Recent large increases in freshwater fluxes from Greenland into the North Atlantic
- J. Bamber, M. V. D. Broeke, +4 authors E. Rignot
- Geology
- 16 October 2012
[1] Freshwater (FW) fluxes from river runoff and precipitation minus evaporation for the pan Arctic seas are relatively well documented and prescribed in ocean GCMs. Fluxes from Greenland on the… Expand
An improved semi-empirical model for the densification of Antarctic firn
- S. Ligtenberg, M. M. Helsen, M. V. D. Broeke
- Geology
- 12 October 2011
A firn densification model is presented that simulates steady-state Antarctic firn density profiles, as well as the temporal evolution of firn density and surface height. The model uses an improved… Expand
A Review of Antarctic Surface Snow Isotopic Composition : Observations, Atmospheric Circulation, and Isotopic Modeling
