Decoded Antarctic snow accumulation history reconciles observed and modeled trends in accumulation and large-scale warming patterns
Increased snow accumulation on the Antarctic Ice Sheet mitigated global sea level rise by ∼ 11 mm during 1901–2000 according to ice core reconstructions. However, in the most recent 40 years of more intense observation and warming, the trend in the Antarctic-wide accumulation rate has been negligible. We attribute thes...
