Sentences with phrase «ice sheet mass decreased»

Ice sheet mass decreased at 152 ± 80 cubic kilometers of ice per year, equal to 0.4 ± 0.2 millimeters of sea level rise per year.

Not exact matches

Equation S1 implies that when SMB - D is negative but constant in time, ice sheet mass will decrease linearly in time.

Over the last two decades, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass, glaciers have continued to shrink almost worldwide, and Arctic sea ice and Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover have continued to decrease in extent.

A color scale was applied in the range of +250 to -250 centimeters of equivalent water height, where blue values indicate an increase in the ice sheet mass while red shades indicate a decrease.

Lots of Antarctic sea ice would argue that the loss of ice sheet mass is decreasing — however on the subject of sea ice and mass loss there is a lot of dancing.

It still sounds like a denialist meme to me to be able to say «sure, sheet ice is decreasing but it's not a problem because sea ice is increasing», and I've never heard the «total ice mass» used outside that context.

PRESS RELEASE Date Released: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 Source: Goddard Space Flight Center In the first direct, comprehensive mass survey of the entire Greenland ice sheet, scientists using data from the NASA / German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) have measured a significant decrease in the mass of the Greenland ice cap.

A loss of mass from the ice sheet causes nearby ocean levels to fall as the mass and gravity of the ice sheet decreases.

Arctic sea ice, Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, global glacier mass, permafrost area, and Northern Hemisphere snow cover are all decreasing substantially, while ocean surface temperatures, sea level, and ocean acidification are rising [36].
