Journal ArticleDOI
Updated cloud physics in a regional atmospheric climate model improves the modelled surface energy balance of Antarctica
J. M. van Wessem,Carleen Reijmer,Jan T. M. Lenaerts,W. J. van de Berg,M. R. van den Broeke,E. van Meijgaard +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of changes in the physics package of the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2 on the modelled surface energy balance, near-surface temperature and wind speed of Antarctica are pre- sented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupled regional climate–ice-sheet simulation shows limited Greenland ice loss during the Eemian
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an asynchronously two-way-coupled regional climate-ice-sheet model, which includes physically realistic feedbacks between the changing ice sheet topography and climate forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low elevation of Svalbard glaciers drives high mass loss variability.

TL;DR: A high-resolution climate model is used to show that modest atmospheric warming in the mid-1980s forced the firn zone to retreat upward by ~100 m to coincide with the hypsometry peak, leading to a rapid areal reduction of firn cover available for refreezing, and strongly increased runoff from dark, bare ice areas, amplifying mass loss from all elevations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling of climate models and ice sheet models by surface mass balance gradients: application to the Greenland Ice Sheet
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new strategy to calculate surface mass balance (SMB) results from climate models to the changing geometry of an ice sheet model, to allow a direct adjustment of SMB to a change in ice sheet topography and/or a change of climate forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of Greenland Ice Sheet surface mass balance to perturbations in sea surface temperature and sea ice cover: a study with the regional climate model MAR
TL;DR: In this article, a set of sensitivity experiments was carried out with the regional climate model MAR forced by ERA-Interim to assess the direct impact of 2007-2012 sea ice cover (SIC) and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on GrIS surface mass balance (SMB).
