Data sets

Dataset from the outputs of the article "Antarctic sensitivity to oceanic melting parameterizations" Antonio Juarez-Martinez et al. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10657938

Model code and software

Description and validation of the ice-sheet model Yelmo (version 1.0) (https://github.com/palma-ice/yelmo) A. Robinson et al. https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-13-2805-2020

Short summary

We present sea level projections for Antarctica in the context of ISMIP6-2300 with several forcings but extend the simulations to 2500, showing that more than 3 m of sea level contribution could be reached. We also test the sensitivity on a basal melting parameter and determine the timing of the loss of ice in the west region. All the simulations were carried out with the ice sheet model Yelmo.
