Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

We present results from a suite of forward transient numerical modelling experiments of the
British and Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS), consisting of Scottish, Welsh and Irish accumulation …

STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2015 Page 1 Special Supplement to the Bulletin of the American
Meteorological Society Vol. 97, No. 8, August 2016 STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2015 Brought …

Greenland ice sheet mass loss has accelerated in the past decade responding to combined
glacier discharge and surface melt water runoff increases. During summer, absorbed solar …

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 …

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass at an accelerating rate since the mid-
1990s. This has been due to both increased ice discharge into the ocean and melting at the …

We discuss Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface mass balance (SMB) differences between
the updated polar version of the RACMO climate model (RACMO2. 3) and the previous …

We combine estimates of the surface mass balance, SMB, of the Greenland ice sheet for
years 1958 to 2007 with measurements of the temporal variability in ice discharge, D, to …

The following graphics are supplemental to Chapter 2 (Global Climate). In most cases, a
particular graphic is analagous to one provided in the chapter, but employs an alternate …

Confidence in projections of global-mean sea level rise (GMSLR) depends on an ability to
account for GMSLR during the twentieth century. There are contributions from ocean thermal …
