Document Summary
Instrumental era - review: oceans that are already relatively salty are becoming a more salty, ocean that are already fresh are become more fresh. Cyrosphere: mountain glaciers, sea ice, mountain glaciers. Ice sheets temp first measurement is usually the position of the point. Number of data sets (glaciers monitors) have increased. Decrease in mass of the glacier (1856, 1987, 2015 photos) All the glaciers in the alps have been decreasing. The temperature in the alps have been increasing by 2x the global mean. Cumulative ice mass loss since ad 1800 graph increasing the loss of. Grinnell glacier 1938 2013 the glacier (cid:523)that"s why the graph looks like it"s increasing(cid:524) The glacier extents are out of balance with today"s temperature change. They will continue to change: sea ice. Antarctica sea ice strongest debate, challenge accepted. Has shown a small increase of about +1. 4% per decade. But there are strong regional difference in the changes around the.
