Impact of paleoclimate on present and future evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Fig 6
The evolution of Greenland’s climate and ice volume during 1850–2100.
(A): Black line: concentration of CO2 forcing in our climate model simulation. Blue line: yearly mean ocean temperature forcing. Red line: Greenland-wide summer temperature anomalies in respect to the Pre-Industrial values (100 years of climatology mean). (B): Anomaly of ice volume of the GrIS with respect to the Pre-Industrial values. The solid lines are the simulations using initial conditions obtained by the paleo-spinup, while the dashed lines are the results using initial conditions obtained by a ten thousand year Pre-Industrial equilibrium-spinup. The coloured lines are the results from individual ensemble members (see Table 1), and the thick black lines are the results of the ensemble mean.
