Description

The Ice Sheet System Model - Greenland Ice Sheet forward run 1979-2012, forced with Jason Box historical estimates of surface mass balance. Prior to the run, the model is relaxed for 30,000 years and then forced with monthly surface mass balance from 1840-1978.

Snowfall accumulation in parts of Antarctica increased in the 20th century. The added precipitation has led to some mitigation of sea level rise. Overall, Antarctica still lost far more ice than it gained.
