Rapid Changes in Ice Discharge from Greenland Outlet Glaciers

Using satellite-derived surface elevation and velocity data, we find
major short-term variations in recent ice discharge and mass-loss at
two of Greenland's largest outlet glaciers. Their combined rate of
mass-loss doubled in less than a year in 2004 and then decreased in
2006 to near the previous rates, likely due to fast re-equilibration
of calving front geometry following retreat. Total mass-loss is a
fraction of concurrent gravity-derived estimates, pointing to an
alternative source of loss and the need for high-resolution
observations of outlet dynamics and glacier geometry for sea-level
rise predictions.
