Greenland Ice Sheet solid ice discharge from 1986 through March 2020

Abstract: Abstract. We present a 1986 through March 2020 estimate of Greenland Ice Sheet ice discharge. Our data include all discharging ice that flows faster than 100 m yr−1 and are generated through an automatic and adaptable method, as opposed to conventional handpicked gates. We position gates near the present-year termini and estimate problematic bed topography (ice thickness) values where necessary. In addition to using annual time-varying ice thickness, our time series uses velocity maps that begin with sparse sp… Show more

“…3), a high correlation (r 2 of 0.88, Fig. 3) may be due primarily to the range, which is larger than the error (Altman and Bland, 1983;Martin Bland and Altman, 1986). Figure 5 compensates for this by comparing the observations with the ratio of the RCM to the observations.…”

“…Satellite altimetry can provide volume change data directly, but not mass change. Often models are used to estimate the near-surface density change and surface lowering in the accumulation zone associated with different summer conditions (Reeh et al, 2005;McMillan et al, 2016). This can then allow the estimation of mass change.…”

“…We focus on the predominantly marine‐terminating NW sector because it has experienced extensive changes during the past decades and because ice‐sheet retreat has been greater there. Focusing on this region therefore permits a clearer and more direct investigation of the effect of a dynamic ice mask upon mass‐balance estimates, as opposed to slower, primarily land‐terminating regions, such as the southwestern sector of the ice sheet (Andersen et al., 2019; Mankoff et al., 2020). We examine this effect by spatially interpolating altimetry‐derived mass‐balance observations (Khan et al., 2016) to five different ice masks, bounding four consecutive periods, and then estimating sector‐scale mass loss.…”
