Variable Basal Melt Rates of Antarctic Peninsula Ice Shelves, 1994–2016

open access: yes, 2018
We have constructed 23-year (1994–2016) time series of Antarctic Peninsula (AP) ice-shelf height change using data from four satellite radar altimeters (ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, and CryoSat-2).

Temperature and Wind Climate of the Antarctic Peninsula as Simulated by a High-Resolution Regional Atmospheric Climate Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The latest polar version of the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO2.3) has been applied to the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). In this study, the authors present results of a climate run at 5.5 km for the period 1979-2013, in which RACMO2.3 is forced by

New model ensemble reveals how forcing uncertainty and model structure alter climate simulated across CMIP generations of the Community Earth System Model [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
Climate simulation uncertainties arise from internal variability, model structure, and external forcings. Model intercomparisons (such as the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project; CMIP) and single-model large ensembles have provided insight into ...

On the atmospheric dynamics of the Tunguska cosmic body

open access: yes, 2001
We studied the available scientific literature on the Tunguska event of 30 June 1908 to obtain parameter sets of the Tunguska Cosmic Body atmospheric dynamics. We performed a comparative analysis by means of available theoretical models and with the help

Identification of Antarctic ablation areas using a regional atmospheric climate

open access: yes, 2006
The occurrence of Antarctic ablation areas in Dronning Maud Land, the Lambert Glacier Basin, Victoria Land, the Transantarctic Mountains and the Antarctic Peninsula is realistically predicted by the regional atmospheric climate model RACMO2/ANT, with ...

Controls on short-term variations in Greenland glacier dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Short-term ice-dynamical processes at Greenland’s Jakobshavn and Kangerdlugssuaq glaciers were studied using a 3day time series of synthetic aperture radar data acquired during the 2011European Remote-sensing Satellite-2 (ERS-2) 3day repeat campaign ...

Causes of variability in the summertime Antarctic boundary-layer climate

open access: yes, 2007
A high-resolution one-dimensional atmospheric model is used to assess the contribution of various surface characteristics and external forcings on the structure and dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over the Antarctic Plateau in summer ...

Accelerating changes in ice mass within Greenland, and the ice sheet’s sensitivity to atmospheric forcing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
peer reviewedThe recent deglaciation of Greenland is a response to both oceanic and atmospheric forcings. From 2000 to 2010, ice loss was concentrated in the southeast and northwest margins of the ice sheet, in large part due to the increasing discharge ...

Modelling the dynamics and boundary processes of Svalbard glaciers

open access: yes, 2014
The focus of this thesis is on improving our understanding of surface and basal processes in the context of glaciers in Svalbard. At the surface, interactions with the atmosphere and underlying snow determine the surface mass balance.
