N2 - The impact of changing climate on the mass balance of the Bering and Hubbard glaciers is discussed. These glaciers will contribute to rising sea levels using an arctic regional model forced with global climate model (GCM) boundary conditions and a glacier mass balance model calibrated to altimetry measurements. Dynamical downscaling is used on climate variables in which the coarse-resolution GCM output provides information about the atmosphere/ocean/ice system's state at a regional model's boundaries. The regional model's boundaries include temperature, humidity, winds, sea-surface temperature, and several other meteorological variables from a GCM. Version 3.0 of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCAR's ) community climate systems model (CCSM3) has four component models to represent the atmosphere (CAM3), ocean (POP1.4.3), sea ice (CSIM5), and land surface (CLM3). These models are linked through a fix coupler, which enables interaction between the components in a physically consistent manner.
