Climate models underestimate glacier ice loss in heatwaves
Original: Climate models underestimate how much ice glaciers lose during heatwaves ByLuis ArraisAuthor 7–9 minutes A day-by-day gl
New research indicates climate models underestimate how much ice glaciers lose during heatwaves. A day-by-day glacier simulation projects 5% to 10% more ice loss by 2100 than conventional monthly models, which could add up to 1.3 inches of additional sea level rise. The findings suggest shorter model timeframes capture extreme heat events that coarser models miss.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying an underestimate in sea level rise projections is drawing attention amid ongoing concern over glacier melt and extreme heat.
