Extended Data Fig. 4: RCP8.5 ensembles calibrated with modern and palaeo observations.
From: The Paris Climate Agreement and future sea-level rise from Antarctica
The fan charts show the time-evolving uncertainty and range around the median ensemble value (black line) in 10% increments. Mean and median ensemble values are shown at 2100. a, Raw ensemble with a range of plausible model parameters based on glaciological observations (Extended Data Table 1). b, The ensemble trimmed with IMBIE4 (1992–2017) estimates of ice mass change. c, The ensemble trimmed with IMBIE rates of ice mass change plus LIG sea-level constraints between 129 and 128 kyr ago34. d, The same as c, except with the addition of maximum mid-Pliocene sea-level constraints35,36 (Extended Data Fig. 1). Future ensembles in the main text (Fig. 1, Table 1) use the combined IMBIE + LIG + Pliocene history matching constraints as shown in d.
