- 63674e02-c9e0-4c40-958c-e33197675b1d definition "Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) is a 5-year (2015-2020) NASA Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS-2) mission that aims to improve estimates of sea level rise by addressing the question: To what extent are the oceans melting Greenland’s ice from below? OMG will observe changing water temperatures on the continental shelf surrounding Greenland, and how marine glaciers react to the presence of warm, salty Atlantic Water. The complicated geometry of the sea floor steers currents on the shelf and often determines whether Atlantic Water can reach into the long narrow fjords and interact with the coastal glaciers. Because knowledge of these pathways is a critical component of modeling the interaction between the oceans and ice sheet, OMG will facilitate improved measurements of the shape and depth of the sea floor in key regions. OMG will use NASA's G-III to fly the Glacier and Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN-A) in order to generate high resolution, high precision elevation measurements of Greenland’s coastal glaciers during the spring. Annual surveys by GLISTIN-A will measure glacier thinning and retreat over the preceding season. A second aircraft campaign will occur each summer to deploy 250 expendable temperature and salinity probes along the continental shelf to measure the volume and extent of warm, salty Atlantic Water. These data, along with fundamental new and critical observations of airborne marine gravity and ship-based observations of the sea floor geometry will provide a revolutionary dataset for understanding ocean/ice interactions and lead to improved estimates of global sea level rise." @default.
