|a The recently finalized inventory of Greenland’s glaciers
and ice caps (GIC) allows for the first time to determine the
mass changes of the GIC separately from the ice sheet using
space-borne laser altimetry data. Corrections for firn
compaction and density that are based on climatic
conditions are applied for the conversion from volume to
mass changes. The GIC which are clearly separable from
the icesheet (i.e., have a distinct ice divide or no
connection) lost 27.9 [plus or minus] 10.7 Gt a [-1] or 0.08 [plus or minus] 0.03 mm a [-1]
sea-level equivalent (SLE) between October 2003 and
March 2008. All GIC (including those with strong but
hydrologically separable connections) lost 40.9 [plus or minus] 16.5 Gt
a [-1] (0.12 [plus or minus] 0.05 mm a [-1] SLE). This is a significant
fraction ([approximately]14 or 20 [percent]) of the reported overall mass loss of
Greenland and up to 10 [percent] of the estimated contribution
from the world’s GIC to sea level rise. The loss was
highest in southeastern and lowest in northern Greenland. |
