Projecting Antarctic
ice discharge using response functions from SeaRISE ice - sheet models.
Not exact matches
We assess atmospheric versus oceanic influences on glacial
discharge at this location,
using analyses of diatom geochemistry to reconstruct atmospherically forced glacial
ice discharge and diatom assemblage ecology to investigate the oceanic environment.
Unlike other studies, before and since, that
used satellite altimetry or satellite gravimetric methods, Zwally's team chose to compare net snowfall accumulation to estimated
ice discharge to the ocean.
Using an optimized flux gate,
ice discharge from Antarctica is 1929 ± 40 Gigatons per year (Gt yr − 1) in 2015, an increase of 36 ± 15 Gt yr − 1 from the time of the radar mapping.
