Abstract

In this study, the memory of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) with respectto its past states is analyzed. According to ice core reconstructions, the present-day GIS reflects former climatic conditions dating back to at least 250 thousand years before the present (kyr BP).

This fact must be considered when initializing an ice sheet model.
