But the results are also quite important both scientifically and for society. Benjamin Heurgue and Charles Amory, both at the Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement in Grenoble, have done a magnificent job, leading a comparison of future Antarctic surface mass balance from three different regional climate models, including our own HIRHAM5. Our DMI contribution was actually rather small: we basically contributed simulations and a bit of analysis, while all the hard thinking was done in Grenoble (and of course by our good friends and colleagues in Brussels, Utrecht, Bergen, Liège and Oslo, I very much enjoy working in these international teams).The concept of the paper is beautifully simple. Take one global climate model (CESM2) running one high-emissions scenario, and downscale it with three regional climate models — MAR, RACMO and HIRHAM5. Regional climate models are like a magnifying glass over the ice sheet:… Commenting on Bubbles has been removed. Why?
