Abstract
We derive the mass balance of Greenland ice sheet from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) for the period January 2003-October 2014. Wehave found an ice mass loss with peak amplitude of -15 cm/yr in the southeastern and northwestern parts, and an acceleration of -2.5 cm/yr(2) in the southwestern region. Global warming is a well-known suspected triggering factor of ice melting. We use MODIS-derived Ice Surface Temperature (IST), and continuous and cross wavelet transforms have been determined to investigate the common power and relative phase between GRACE derived time-series of ice mass changes and IST time-series. Results indicate a high common power between the two time-series for the whole study period, but with different time patterns.
