"Figure 1: Time series of ice mass changes for the Greenland ice sheet estimated from GRACE monthly mass solutions for the period from April 2002 to February 2009. Unfiltered data are blue crosses. Data filtered for the seasonal dependence using a 13-month window are shown as red crosses. The best-fitting quadratic trend is shown (green line)."
" [...] Antarctic ice mass loss is more complicated. While West Antarctica is showing strong warming and ice mass loss, the Eastern land mass is in approximate mass balance. This is because while East Antartica is losing ice at the edges, it's gaining ice in the interior. Nevertheless, overall the continent is losing ice mass as seen in Figure 2. [...]"
