AB: Glacier and ice sheet thickness responds to climate variations on a time scales ranging from daily (snowfall and melt episodes) to decadal/centennial/millennial (long term climate changes). The Polar MM5 atmospheric model is capable of simulating surface mass balance variability associated with short term climate variations. In this study, we explore removing short term climate variations from ICESat height change results over the Greenland ice sheet to get a better idea of residual ice sheet thickness changes associated with ice flow dynamics.
