Abstract

Ice melt processes that take place at the ice–ocean boundary of Greenland and Antarctic glaciers play a pivotal role in their evolution and contribution to sea-level rise, but widespread observations in these regions are lacking. A major observational initiative will be necessary to drastically reduce uncertainties in projections and better prepare society for sea-level rise.

对接地带的观测是了解南极洲冰雪消融的关键所在

格陵兰岛和南极冰川的冰海边界发生的冰雪融化过程对冰川的演变和海平面上升起着关键作用，但这些地区缺乏广泛的观测。要大幅减少预测中的不确定性，让社会为海平面上升做好更好的准备，就必须开展大规模的观测活动。
