摘要

The transient response to projected climate change of two ice caps in the central Icelandic highland was simulated with a vertically integrated ice-flow model coupled to a degree-day mass-balance model. The ice caps, Langjoekull and Hofsjoekull, are of similar size (area ~900 km~2 and volume ~ 200 km~3) and located only ~ 30 km apart. The climate change simulations were started in 1990 from steady states corresponding to the average climate of 1981-2000 and driven with observed weather parameters until 2005. Thereafter, the forcing was according to a Nordic climate change scenario based on the IPCC B2 emission scenario. The simulations during the period 1990-2005 compare reasonably well with observations of mass-balance and glacier extent. Both ice caps are projected to essentially disappear during the next 100 to 200 years. Langjoekull, which disappears within the next 150 years, shows larger mass-balance sensitivity to warming than the higher elevated Hofsjoekull, where ice on the highest peaks may last over 200 years. A large proportion of the simulated runoff increase with respect to a 1981 -2000 average has already taken place within the period 1990-2005. The runoff will increase further during the next 40-60 years and remain considerably higher than at present until the end of the 21st century.
