Improved GRACE regional mass balance estimates of the Greenland ice sheet is
208 plus/minus 18Gt/year mass loss rate for the period 2003 to 2008
from the GRACE solution, while the I(nput)O(utput)M solution shows a mass loss rate
of 195 plus/minus 25 Gt/yr.

The mass loss rates increase by ~ 67% and 85% in the 2009-2014 period in the GRACE and IOM solutions, respectively.

The 10 year acceleration in the GRACE data is -25 plus/minus 8 Gt/yr/yr, consistent with the IOM solution,-26 plus/minus 12 Gt/yr/yr.

According to GRACE & IOM data, present 2016 Greenland ice sheet losses range from ~ 393 Gtons/yr to 456 Gtons/yr.

A new study about Greenland Landmass Rebound affects, indicate that present 2016 Greenland ice sheet losses increase to ~ 410 Gtons/yr to 475 Gtons/yr.

Do you like my new hat? I got it in "pukey" color. It's a pukey proud pig hat, just for me.



I got it when I learned that conclusive evidence shows the Greenland ice sheet is gaining ice overall, not losing it ... at about ~2% per decade. Wow!

The hat is redundant, like your redundant non-science. Everyone knows you are a pukey proud pig. Can't find my nice warm hat with earflaps. Haven't needed it so far, this late fall. It is good that you prove you have bad science, since you took no science chemistry astronomy physics algebra & pre-calc in an unearned hi skule DEE-plooomaa.

Can you post any actual evidence other than the GRACE data.

I am sure all these papers will cite this data as their evidence.

The real world is more true than the scripture of a scientific paper. i know you don't want it to be so but it is.

I had no idea anyone was applying their data to "climate" analysis but I'll try to be open-minded.

Present Arctic sea ice extent is 10 million square kilometers. 2017 has an inside track for its Arctic sea ice extent MAXIMUM to remain below 14 million square kilometers, as did the years 2015 & 2016. No other years have been below 14 million square kilometers. Interesting is that the 1980's decade of average NEW YEAR'S DAY Arctic sea ice extent is very close to 14 million square kilometers. If 2017 Arctic sea ice extent maximum does remain below 14 million, three years in a row will emphasize that every year is MISSING 3 months of Arctic sea ice freezing.

Once it was revealed that Arctic sea ice extent fluctuates every year because it is based on weather ... which is random and is thus independent year-to-year, and that there are no trends in random events, e.g. weather, polar sea ice, etc... then everyone stopped caring.

Ah.... its good that you predict future Arctic sea ice extent maximums will soon be 15.5+ million square kilometers. With present solar TSI below average for 10 years(including a 3+ year solar TSI setting a 100year record low), you must believe it'll be very very soon.

Average Arctic sea ice VOLUME for December 1, for the period 1980-89, was ~20,200 cubic kilometers. Present estimated December 1, 2016 sea ice VOLUME is ~10,500 cubic kilometers, ~ 9700 cubic kilometers LESS than the 1980-89 average for December 1.
Considerations of Arctic sea ice VOLUME show the uncontrolled plummet of sea ice, desired by unscientific toxic topix AGW denier liars, who mostly have no or little mathematical or science background.

I know what you meant. I know you attempt to confuse. You need to wait till present sea ice extent returns to the sea ice levels of the 80's (to date), before you "attempt" to say that Arctic sea ice is increasing.

Did we ever get anyactual evidence other than the GRACE satellite stuff showing a loss of Greenland ice mass?

Measuring the ice mass on Greenland by satellite is like measuring the heigh of your kids using the data from pictures taken off a passing police car's camera.

No it isn't its measuring something with something designed to measure it.

It can also detect subduction zones.



http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gravity/solid_earth.html

It can also detect deap sea currents



Its your opposition because you have the expertise to say that's its unreliable even though its used in other fields or is it because you don't want to be told whatever it is it's telling us?

Sorry for bumping my own thread but I seem to remember that the icesheats weren't mesured by aircraft anymore, 10 more seconds googling took me to a site about Icebridge which seems to be doing what you claimed was not being done.

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/icebridge/index.html#.VDQh8UvLxd0

About IceBridge
Using a fleet of research aircraft, NASA's Operation IceBridge images Earth's polar ice to better understand connections between polar regions and the global climate system. IceBridge studies annual changes in thickness of sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets.

No it isn't its measuring something with something designed to measure it.

It can also detect subduction zones.

Its your opposition because you have the expertise to say that's its unreliable even though its used in other fields or is it because you don't want to be told whatever it is it's telling us?


Given that it comes out with numbers that disagree with the observations done on the ground, with measurements of the earth's rotation, with observations of the flow rate of the glaciers and rivers coming out of Greenland, with the basic mechanics of the glaciers in what forces are driving them down hill, with WWII aircraft being under 80+m of ice and with the impossibility to actually getting that much heat energy into the ice sheet from sunshine over a breif summer, then I have to put it down to my expertise in spotting the bleeding obvious.

About IceBridge
Using a fleet of research aircraft, NASA's Operation IceBridge images Earth's polar ice to better understand connections between polar regions and the global climate system. IceBridge studies annual changes in thickness of sea ice, glaciers and ice sheets.


Yeah, why use an aircraft at a cost of a couple of thousand dollars when you can have a satellite and a billion dollar budget with salary to match?

I don't have time to dispute your figures but I'm sure If I investigated them they would turn out to be wrong, as other figures you have quoted have invariably turned out to be.

The point is you are implying your an expert on the subject but you diden't even know about the aircraft.

Here's an interesting article referring to recent paper on the topic:

Greenland ice is melting seven percent faster than previously thought

Apparently, ground GPS measurements have shown that the rock under Greenland is rebounding (following the end of the ice age) faster than had previously been thought, thus leading the GRACE scientists to underestimate the rate of ice loss. The authors of the paper conclude that the amount of ice lost between 2003 and 2013 is actually about 2,700 billion tons, rather than the 2,500 billion tons previously determined.

He said the aircraft cost about 2 grand thats including paying someone to do the work and outfitting it.




Now I'm not an expert in pricing up aircraft, I'm not Donald Trump. but considering 2 grand will only get you a crap old car I think it's fair to say it's a bit more than that Also I'm betting the figure for the satellite program was also pulled out of his arse.

Sure. $2K won't get you a wing. Stating such is much more credible than "I'm sure that if I were to research this that you'd be wrong." Give a figure. It's too easy.

If it got you a propeller blade I would be surprised, considering the whole earth science budget is less then 2 billion his figure of 1 billion to run one program is almost defiantly wrong.

So it has come as a surprise to these people that when you wish to measure the ice on Greenland you should measure the ice on Greenland rather than the path of a satellite. And you wonder why I think they are bogus.

They already have the aircraft all fitted out.

It would take a day to do.

What do you think is bogus, and why?

The GRACE satellite simply measures changes in surface mass balance, and cannot differentiate between rock and ice mass. This is why scientists using its data to study Greenland ice loss must and do compensate for rebound in order to get a good estimate of ice loss. These latest measurements just indicate that the rebound is somewhat greater than previously thought, which means that more ice must be being lost. There's no "surprise" here, just an improved estimate of rebound.

Of course, scientists also use both satellite and aircraft-based radar altimetry to measure ice thickness. The GRACE data simply complement these data.
