Table 1 Summary of the climate forcing scenarios. Each forcing scenario was constructed by combining one of the two proxy-based air temperature records (PA and MA1)28,29 with one of the two proxy-based precipitation records (MA1 and TML1)29,30. Initial glacier volume (Vice) is presented relative to the combined modern volumes of the HPS19, Penguin, and Europa glaciers (308 km3; 100%) as simulated in our default model initialization step (Methods “model initialization”).
From: Precipitation drives western Patagonian glacier variability and may curb future ice mass loss
Simulation | Temperature record | Precipitation record | Initial conditions (at 4.2 kyr b2k) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
∆Tt (°C) | ∆Pt | Vice (km3) | |||
#1 | MA1 stalagmite record | MA1 stalagmite record | -1.04 | 0.94 | 305 (99%) |
#2 | MA1 stalagmite record | TML1 lake-sediment record | -1.04 | 1.24 | 342 (111%) |
#3 | PA chironomid record | MA1 stalagmite record | + 2.20 | 0.94 | 205 (67%) |
#4 | PA chironomid record | TML1 lake-sediment record | + 2.20 | 1.24 | 295 (96%) |
