Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Although the West Antarctic surface climate has experienced large changes over the past decades with widespread surface warming, an overall increase in snow accumulation and a deepening of the Amundsen Sea Low, the exact role of human activities in these changes has not yet been fully investigated, which limits confidence in future projections. Here, we perform a detection and attribution analysis using instrumental and proxy-based reconstructions, and two large climate model simulation ensembles to quantify the forced response in these observed changes. We show that surface climate changes since the 1950s were driven by anthropogenic forcing, in particular the greenhouse gas forcing and stratospheric ozone depletion. Therefore, our results indicate that the 21st century changes will depend on both the greenhouse gas emissions and the ozone layer recovery. |
