Sentences with phrase «ice loss rates»

The increase was due almost completely to increased ice loss rates in southern Greenland (Velicogna and Wahr 2006a).

On average the daily ice loss rate for the Arctic as a whole during August was -54,000 square million square kilometers per day, or about average.

But as to your conclusion, you state: «The sea ice loss rate seems to be very sensitive to model resolution and has improved in CMIP5 — implicating aspects of the model structure as the main source of the problem.»

The average ice loss rate through August was 75,000 square kilometers per day (29,000 square miles), compared to the long - term 1981 to 2010 average of 57,300 square kilometers per day (22,100 square miles per day), and a rate of 89,500 square kilometers per day for 2012 (34,500 square miles per day).

Faster than normal ice loss rates continued through August, a transition month when ice loss typically begins to slow.

Faster than normal ice loss rates continued through August, a transition month when ice loss typically begins to slow.

For short periods, it peaked at ice loss rates of over 3000 cubic kilometres per year.»

For short periods, it peaked at ice loss rates of over 3000 cubic kilometres per year.»

Thus, even with the rapid July ice loss rates, the lowest statistical estimates were revised upwards.

The study found that, based on recent ice loss rates and the movement of the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, as well as computer model projections, «early - stage collapse has begun.»

This pattern helped to accelerate ice loss in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, where ice loss rates doubled in August.

Ice loss accelerated in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas at nearly twice the rate as observed during the month of July, whereas ice loss rates slowed in other regions (Figure 4).

The July 2010 average daily ice loss rate was -80,920 square kilometers per day, slower than the climatological rate of decline for July of -84,050 square kilometers per day, and significantly slower than that observed in 2007 -LRB--107,270 square kilometer per day).

For three particular mismatches — sea ice loss rates being much too low in CMIP3, tropical MSU - TMT rising too fast in CMIP5, or the ensemble mean global mean temperatures diverging from HadCRUT4 — it is likely that there are multiple sources of these mismatches across all three categories described above.

In addition, the study showed that ice loss rates have not only sped up at the grounding lines, but also more than 100 miles inland, compromising the entire ice sheet that the glacier helps hold back from the sea.

The large range of estimates reflects the large variability in ice loss rates over the final three months of the melt season.

Meier (NASA GSFC Cryo Sciences), 4.30 (± 0.63), Statistical This method applies daily ice loss rates to extrapolate from the start date (June 3) through the end of September.

Thus far, the ice loss rate for August (1 - 27 August) has been the same as climatology at around -54,000 square kilometers per day.
