Reconstruction of the 1979–2006 Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance using the regional climate model MAR
2007
The Cryosphere
Results from a 28-year simulation over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) reveal an increase of solid precipitation (+0.4±2.5 km 3 yr −2 ) and runoff (+7.9±3.3 km 3 yr −2 ) of surface meltwater. The net effect of these competing factors is a significant Surface Mass Balance (SMB) loss of −7.2±5.1 km 3 yr −2 . The contribution of changes in the net water vapour flux (+0.02±0.09 km 3 yr −2 ) and rainfall (+0.2±0.2 km 3 yr −2 ) to the SMB variability is negligible. The meltwater supply has increased
