  1. 1. Impact of different atmospheric forcings on surface mass balance estimates in Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Stina Olandersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; surface mass balance; Greenland; climate models; numerical weather prediction models; surface energy balance; Arctic; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. READ MORE

  3. 2. Climate Change and Precipitation Variability Influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Jennie Olsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Physics; Ice Sheet; Surface Mass Balance; SMB; Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP; Climate Change; Greenland; Precipitation; Precipitation Variability; Glaciers; Glacier; Meteorology; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gas; Future Climate; Climate; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. READ MORE

  4. 3. Importance of large scale extreme precipitation to the surface mass balance of the Greenland Ice sheet

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Moa Hallberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Ice sheet; Greenland; surface mass balance; atmospheric rivers; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The ongoing climate change has affected Greenland's ice sheet with heighten near surface temperatures, an extended melt season and change in precipitation. These effects have caused Greenland's ice sheet to melt at an accelerating rate. READ MORE

  5. 4. A comparison of modelled precipitation in Greenland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Rebecca Vesterberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Greenland; precipitation; Surface mass balance; SMB; ice sheet; accumulation; ablation; sea level rise; Regional Climate Model; HIRHAM5; Numerical Weather Prediction model; HIRLAM7.3; biases; climate change; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Greenland ice sheet develops throughout the year with the changing weather condi- tions. Precipitation contributes by increasing the mass, whilst warmth induces melting, which makes the ice sheet diminish. READ MORE

  6. 5. Changes in Surface Mass Balance on the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Linnéa Midefelt; [2016]
    Keywords : Surface mass balance; Devon Ice Cap; Canadian Arctic; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Climate change is an ongoing process that contributes to changes in the climate on a global scale down to a local scale. The Arctic sea ice and the glaciers have continued to decrease at the same time as the rate of sea level rise has increased. READ MORE
