Sentences with phrase «regional ice mass loss»
Within a few years, the main outlet glacier draining the region — Zachariae Isstrom — retreated about 20 kilometers, and regional ice mass loss jumped from zero to roughly 10 metric gigatons a year.

Rignot et al., Recent Antarctic ice mass loss from radar interferometry and regional climate modelling, Nature Geoscience 1, 106 — 110 (2008)
For example, if ice sheet mass loss becomes rapid, it is conceivable that the cold fresh water added to the ocean could cause regional surface cooling [199], perhaps even at a point when sea level rise has only reached a level of the order of a meter [200].
We use realistic estimates of mass redistribution from ice mass loss and land water storage to quantify the resulting ocean bottom deformation and its effect on global and regional ocean volume change estimates.
Mean sea level (MSL) evolution has a direct impact on coastal areas and is a crucial index of climate change since it reflects both the amount of heat added in the ocean and the mass loss due to land ice melt (e.g. IPCC, 2013; Dieng et al., 2017) Long - term and inter-annual variations of the sea level are observed at global and regional scales.
