| Zusammenfassung |
| A new, high resolution (27 km) surface mass balance (SMB) map of the Antarctic ice sheet is
presented, based on output of a regional atmospheric climate model that includes snowdrift
physics and is forced by the most recent reanalysis data from the European Centre for
Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), ERA-Interim (1989-2009). The SMB map
confirms high accumulation zones in the western Antarctic Peninsula (>1500 mmy-1) and
coastal West Antarctica (>1000 mmy-1), and shows low SMB values in large parts of the
interior ice sheet ( |
