A simplified multi-scale model for predicting climatic variations of the ice-sheet surface elevation in central Antarctica
The equation describing the surface evolution of a large ice sheet is examined on the basis of a scale analysis applied to Antarctic conditions. Changes in the surface elevation are mainly driven by mass-balance fluctuations which approximately follow global atmospheric temperature variations. The e...
