Viscous “Memory” of Solid Earth to Past Ice-Ocean Mass Flux

The Influence of Variations in Earth Model Viscosity Structure on Observations of Sea-Level Change How sensitive is the GIA signal associated with past ice-ocean mass flux to changes in Earth model viscosity structure? Consider the “correction” to be applied to tide gauges, satellite altimetry and GRACE. Is the uncertainty in the correction significant compared to errors in the observations? Note: results based on a single global ice model.

Adopt a few different ice models for Antarctic and Greenland and predict present-day crustal uplift and geoid rate signals. Consider only the on-going viscous Earth response to past variations of these ice sheets. Influence of Earth model uncertainty is not considered. How Sensitive are GIA Contributions to Altimetry and GRACE Observations to Differences in Current Ice Models?

Summary Solid Earth motion associated with past ice- ocean mass flux is a significant contaminant signal in observations related to sea-level changes (GRACE, tide gauges and proxy records, Satellite Altimetry) and cryosphere changes (Altimetry and GRACE). The accuracy of the climate signal inferred from these observations therefore depends on the accuracy of the GIA model correction. The correction applied is sensitive to the adopted ice history and Earth viscosity model.

Recommendations GIA community: - Make predictions available (data correction and site selection) - Continue to improve and refine Earth and ice components of model User community: - Employ well-calibrated regional models if possible or… - Use a suite of model predictions - Use measurements of crustal motion
