Sentences with phrase «ice elevation between»
The IceBridge flights, which began on August 27 and will continue until September 16, are mostly repeats of lines that the team flew in early May, so that scientists can observe changes in ice elevation between the spring and late summer.

Exact numbers are a work in progress The scientists used a combination of surface elevation data from satellites and planes between 1978 and 2012 and a GPS network that weighs the ice sheet like a scale, according to Ohio State.
The main feedbacks between climate and the ice sheet arise from changes in ice elevation, atmospheric and ocean circulation, and sea - ice distribution.
We present our best estimate of the thickness and volume of the Arctic Ocean ice cover from 10 Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) campaigns that span a 5 - year period between 2003 and 20ice cover from 10 Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) campaigns that span a 5 - year period between 2003 and 20Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) campaigns that span a 5 - year period between 2003 and 2008.
«Neogene extension and basin deepening in the West Antarctic rift inferred from comparisons with the East African rift and other analogs WE LeMasurier — Geology, 2008 intl-geology.geoscienceworld.org Abstract The West Antarctic rift system differs from other volcanically active rift systems in two unusual respects: (1) the rift floor lies 1000 — 2000 m lower in elevation than others, and (2) four interior ice - filled troughs extend between 1500 m and 2555 m below sea level.
Between 2003 and 2005, the Greenland Ice Sheet lost 101 ± 16 gigatons per year, with a gain of 54 gigatons per year above 2,000, meters and a loss of 155 gigatons per year at lower elevations.
This NASA visualization shows changes in the surface elevation of the southeast region of the ice sheet between 2003 and 2012.
Based on ice - sheet model simulations consistent with elevation changes derived from a new Greenland ice core, the Greenland ice sheet very likely contributed between 1.4 m and 4.3 m sea level equivalent, implying with medium confidence a contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet to the global mean sea level during the last interglacial period.
