Popis: The impact of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet mass loss on regional sea level is evaluated here under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios for the period 2081–2099. To this end, estimates of associated fresh water sources are added to the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology’s Earth System Model ocean component and the dynamical impact is quantified in terms of the difference in sea level relative to previous phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project runs. Overall, the addition of these freshwater sources have only a small impact on regional sea level variations relative to the global mean (
