Science Writing, Oct 19 (EFE).- The most used climate models, which make monthly averages, are underestimating the loss of ice in glaciers and the rise in sea level, and by including daily data the models reveal that these effects will be much more accelerated. Researchers at the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich and [...] The entry Climate models underestimate the loss of ice in glaciers and the rise of the sea was first published in HolaNew…
A new study by researchers from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) reveals that glaciers around the world could lose ice faster than expected. Published in Nature Communications, research shows that taking into account daily weather variability leads to simulations [...]
Underestimated melts: Worldwide glacier models often work with monthly values for temperature and precipitation. This smoothes short heat waves and rapid weather changes. A new daily model therefore calculates an additional loss of five to ten percent of the ice volume of 2025 and a greater contribution to sea level rise by 2100. Brussels (Belgium). If a heat wave the bright snow cover of a glacier in [...] The article Glaciers can melt even fas…
