Thin patterns of the largest glacier in the Antarctic are contrary to those found before: researchers – Gizmo Posts 24

Jan 27 (UPI)Antarcticas largest glacier, Pine Island Glacier, continues to lose ice, yet its fine patterns are changing more and more elaborately and unexpectedly. New research indicates that the glacier now sheds ice mass in contrast to what was observed earlier.

Scientists at the University of Bristol (Britain) have analyzed the ice loss patterns in the Pine Island glacier over the last ten years, using fresh data from the CryoSat European Space Agency.

The data of CryoSat helps scientists for high resolution maps to assess the height of the glacier and how quickly the glacier loses its ice. They noticed that the ice loss rate in the previously fast-flowing central trunk of the glacier decreased by a factor of five reported in the Nature Geoscience journal on Monday.

In the meantime, ice losses have dramatically increased among the slow-flow ranges of the glacier. Pine Island Glacier has added more than any otherAntarctic glacier in the last 40 years to the rise of sea level. The glacier contributes to the development of the sea is a subject which is much discussed, with conflicting forecasts from different computer models.

The latest research shows that it is unlikely to move much in the next few decades to find the basement of Pine Island Glacier that meets the Antarctic Ocean. The latest data then shows that in the foreseeable future, the glacier is still losing ice at the current rate.

It may look like a good news story, but it is still important to remember that in future, we are still expecting this glacier may continue to lose weight, and that trend will continue to increase over time, just not quite as rapidly as some of the model models indicated.

It is very important to understand why the models produce different activities in the future and how the glacier can adapt to these new observations. We did not plan in the report, but we can boost model projections for this section of the Antarctic with these new data.
