Fig. 3. Regional peak refreezing by 2200.

Fig. 3

ag Time series of sector-integrated refreezing for the period 1850–2300. Thick coloured lines represent ensemble mean refreezing at 1 km from 11 pre-industrial (IND), 12 historical (HIST) and 27 scenario projections, i.e., SSP1-2.6 (6 CESM2 and 1 RACMO2 members), SSP2-4.5 (6 members), SSP3-7.0 (5 members), and SSP5-8.5 (8 CESM2 and 1 RACMO2 members). One CESM2 SSP5-8.5 scenario includes ice dynamics (dyn). Coloured bands represent the maximum and minimum refreezing within each ensemble. Coloured dots and whiskers estimate the timing and uncertainties of the regional refreezing peak for SSP5-8.5 (red) and SSP3-7.0 (orange) using extrapolation of the runoff line altitude in time (see “Methods”). The black line in ag represents the reanalysis-forced RACMO2.3p2 simulation (1958–2020)10. h Downscaled GrIS runoff from CESM2-forced RACMO2.3p2 at 1 km under SSP5-8.5 in 2080–2099. Numbers represent the land-ice area fraction producing significant runoff (>100 mm w.e. yr1) for the GrIS (bottom left) and individual sectors.
