Fig. 2. Cumulative mass change of Svalbard glaciers and contribution to sea level rise.

Fig. 2

Time series of monthly cumulative modelled SMB, measured cumulative solid ice discharge (D)11,12 and reconstructed cumulative mass balance (MB = SMB−D) for the period 1958–2018. Observed mass change derived from GRACE (2002–2016), ICESat (2003–2009) and CryoSat-2 (2010–2018) are also shown. For clarity, GRACE data are shown with a positive offset of 100 Gt. The right y-axis translates Svalbard cumulative mass balance into global sea level rise equivalent. Supplementary Fig. 2c zooms in on the satellite period (2003–2018).
