William B. Krabill,Edward Hanna,Philippe Huybrechts,Philippe Huybrechts,Waleed Abdalati,John Cappelen,Beata Csatho,E. Frederick,S. Manizade,C. Martin,John Sonntag,Robert N. Swift,Robert H. Thomas,Robert H. Thomas,J. Yungel +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the average ice loss from Greenland between 1997 and 2003 was 80 ± 12 km3 yr-1, compared to about 60 km 3 yr -1 for 1993/4-1998/9.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Runoff from Melt from the Greenland Ice Sheet: A Response to Global Warming
Edward Hanna,Philippe Huybrechts,Konrad Steffen,John Cappelen,R. Huff,Christopher A. Shuman,Tristram Irvine-Fynn,Stephen Wise,Michael K. Griffiths +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attributed significantly increased Greenland summer warmth and Greenland ice sheet melt and runoff since 1990 to global warming, which was modulated by the North Atlantic Oscillation, whose summer index was significantly (negatively) correlated with southern Greenland summer temperatures until the early 1990s but not thereafter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Runoff and mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet: 1958-2003
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first such history that provides insight into seasonal and interannual variability of the Greenland ice sheet, which should prove useful for those studying the ice sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of North Atlantic atmospheric and oceanic forcing effects on 1900–2010 Greenland summer climate and ice melt/runoff
Edward Hanna,Julie M. Jones,John Cappelen,Sebastian H. Mernild,Len Wood,Konrad Steffen,Philippe Huybrechts +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation analysis of Greenland coastal weather station temperatures against the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillations (AMO) indices for the summer season (when Ice Sheet melt and runoff occur) reveals significant temporal variations over the last 100 years, with periods of strongest correlations in the early twentieth century and during recent decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greenland Blocking Index 1851–2015: a regional climate change signal
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extended monthly and seasonal Greenland Blocking Index (GBI) from January 1851 to December 2015, which more than doubled the length of the existing published GBI series.
