Abstract

AbstractTo better understand the impact of climate forcing on Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we study the GrIS mass variations on the interannual timescale as observed by the satellite mission of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). By employing the method of empirical orthogonal function) analysis, we find: (a) That the GrIS interannual mass variations are significantly correlated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, suggesting a connection to the changes of the Icelandic Low (a permanent low‐pressure system) related to PDO; (b) An East‐West Costal Dipole related to precipitation anomaly subjects to the North Atlantic Oscillation; (c) Certain contribution of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation to GrIS mass variations in the form of temperature and runoff anomalies.
