1. Individual ice sheet contributions to SLR for 2100 L (A) and H (B) temperature scenarios, assuming dependences between the ice sheets in terms of the processes of accumulation, runoff, and discharge.
Individual ice sheet contributions to SLR for 2100 L (A) and H (B) temperature scenarios, assuming dependences between the ice sheets in terms of the processes of accumulation, runoff, and discharge. PDFs were generated from 50,000 realizations of the relevant SEJ distributions. Horizontal bars indicate the fifth, 50th, and 95th percentile values (i.e., the 90% credible range). Also shown are the likely range (17th–83rd percentile) as defined in the AR5 and the total AIS contribution (WAIS plus EAIS assuming the inter ice sheet dependencies elicited). Note that this is not simply the sum of WAIS and EAIS contributions because of inter-ice sheet dependencies. The AIS values are compared with a recent emulator approach (30) in SI Appendix, Fig. S11.
