P.421 3rd paragraph: "By the end of the 21st century, relative losses in ice volume of between 30% (Alaska), around 50% (High Mountain Asia), and 80% (European Alps and low latitudes of the South American Andes) are expected, with considerable agreement among different models (Table 1). The total contribution to sea-level rise from mountain glaciers is estimated to be 90–220mm by 2100 depending on the GCM [global circulation model] and the emission scenario considered [primary sources Marzeion et al., 2012, Radi´c et al., 2014, Huss and Hock, 2015]. On time scales of a few centuries, an almost complete loss of mountain glaciers is possible if air temperatures continue to rise at
current rates [Levermann et al., 2013]." See note beneath table |
