Response of the antarctic ice sheet to a climatic warming: A model study
Abstract It is generally believed that the increasing CO 2 content of the atmosphere will lead to a substantial climatic warming in the polar regions. In this study the effect of consequent changes in the ice accumulation rate over the Antarctic Ice Sheet is investigated by means of a numerical ice...
