On the Response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Greenhouse Climate Change
Numerical computations are performed with the three-dimensional polythermal ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS in order to investigate the possible impact of a greenhouse-gas-induced climate change on the Greenland ice sheet. The assumed increase of the mean annual air temperature above the ice covers a range from T = 1 C to 12 C, and several parameterizations for the snowfall and the surface melting ar...
متن کاملTransient response of the MOC and climate to potential melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the 21st century
[1] The potential effects of Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) melting on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and global climate in the 21st century are assessed using the Community Climate System Model version 3 with prescribed rates of GrIS melting. Only when GrIS melting flux is strong enough to be able to produce net freshwater gain in upper subpolar North Atlantic does the MOC w...
متن کاملGRANTISM: An ExcelTM model for Greenland and Antarctic ice-sheet response to climate changes
Over the last decades, the response of large ice sheets on Earth, such as the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, to changes in climate has been successfully simulated with large-scale numerical ice-sheet models. Since these models are highly sophisticated, they are only applicable on the scientific level as they demand a large amount of CPU time. Based on similar physics, a computationally fas...
