In West Antarctica, ice thinning has been detected in areas that were poorly surveyed by
past satellite
altimeter missions.
The data cited is satellite
altimeter measurements of global mean sea level over the
past 16 years (Figure 1).
@ 1 Paul S. Most assessments of ice sheet contribution to sea level rise indicate an acceleration over the
past decade, whereas
altimeter - measured SLR has not been faster over the most recent decade There was a paper published within the last couple of years by some of this sites contributors that suggested part of the disparity may be due to an increase in land based water.
Church & White 2011 would be better for a longer view (CSIRO site seems to be down at the moment so I can't find a link), or satellite
altimeter data to track the
past couple of decades right up to the present, which is the main period of interest after all.
Most assessments of ice sheet contribution to sea level rise indicate an acceleration over the
past decade, whereas
altimeter - measured SLR has not been faster over the most recent decade (2003 - 2012) compared to the previous one (1993 - 2002).
