Sentences with phrase «suggest ice mass losses»

Current models suggest ice mass losses increase with temperature more rapidly than gains due to increased precipitation and that the surface mass balance becomes negative (net ice loss) at a global average warming (relative to pre-industrial values) in excess of 1.9 to 4.6 °C.

Joughin et al. (2010) applied a numerical ice sheet model to predicting the future of PIG, their model suggested ongoing loss of ice mass from PIG, with a maximum rate of global sea level rise of 2.7 cm per century.

al) suggest radiative loss to space, but they also include references relating to warming bottom water, deepening tropical gyre warm bowls, and increased mass loss from the Antarctic and Geenland ice sheets.

The maps suggests growth of parts of coastal East Antarctica, little change in the interior and ice mass loss in West Antarctica (basins 18 - 27 and 1) focused on the Amundsen Sea Coast region (basins 20 - 23).

We suggest that mass loss from disintegrating ice sheets probably can be approximated better by exponential mass loss than by linear mass loss.

Additionally, unadjusted GRACE gravity data has suggested no lost ice mass and all estimates of ice gains or loss depend on which Glacial Isostatic Adjustments modelers choose to use.

Insights from this study suggests that large sectors of contemporary ice sheets overlying geothermally active regions, such as Siple Coast, Antarctica, and NE Greenland, have the potential to experience rapid phases of mass loss and deglaciation once initial retreat is initiated.

Estimates of the decadal variability in ice sheet mass loss (11) suggest the impact on acceleration estimates is ∼ 0.014 mm / y2 for a 25 - y time series, in the absence of rapid dynamical changes in the ice sheets.
