Figure 2

Changes in mass discharges and mass balances across the Antarctic ice sheet between 2008 and 2015. The colour and size of the circles denote the magnitudes of the mass discharge changes for individual glaciers with no ice shelf link and for the combinations of glaciers linked to the same ice shelf. Note that the circles are drawn using variable size scales for clarity. Details about the glaciers can be found in Table S2. In addition, the SMB values and mass discharges in six oceanic sectors in 2008 and 2015 are denoted by black-hatched and coloured bars. The mosaic of ice velocity in 2015 and the ice divides are same as in Fig. 1, and an overlain bathymetric map is shown. The six oceanic sectors include the Ross Sea (ROS), Amundsen Sea (AMU), Bellingshausen Sea (BEL), Weddell Sea (WED), West Indian Ocean (WIS) and East Indian Ocean (EIS). The map was created using The Generic Mapping Tools version 5.2.1 (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/)36.
