Default Sea Level Rise


The surface melt from Greenland is well down this summer, so the next Jason plot may be anomalously low. https://www.dmi.dk/uploads/tx_dmidat...mulatedsmb.png

But there is also a contribution to sea level rise from Greenland mass flow and from Antarctica.


But I get the impression this was an unexpected surprise

https://www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article...sea_level_rise

and nothing like that had generally been factored in for global sea
level rise.

"Between 2012 and 2017 the continent lost 219 billion tonnes of ice per
year – a 0.6 mm per year sea level contribution. "
or about 1/4 to 1/5 of the total.
