Additional contributions to CMIP5 regional sea level projections resulting from Greenland and Antarctic ice mass loss

Additional contributions to CMIP5 regional sea level projections resulting from Greenland and Antarctic ice mass loss

The impact of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet mass loss on regional sea level is evaluated here under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios for the period 2081–2099. To this end, estimates of associated fresh water sources are added to the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology’s Earth System Model ocean co...
