TitleGreenland Ice Sheet sensitivity to warming with different basal sliding configurations
Date2018
AbstractThe data consist of output of the Penn State 3-D ice-sheet model simulating the Greenland Ice Sheet, in support of a project described in the associated paper (Alley et al., JGR-Earth Surface, 2019). The simulations show the equilibrated ice-sheet state after various degrees of surface air warming, for 3 different configurations of basal slipperiness. The basal sliding configurations represent changes in basal warming and lubrication due to tectonic passage of the Iceland hotspot millions of years ago and subsequent loading and unloading due to glacial-interglacial cycles, and the model results are used in the study of Alley et al. (2019) addressing past changes in Greenland Ice Sheet sensitivity.
