英文摘要	In this study, we use satellite gravimetry data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) to estimate regional mass changes of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and neighbouring glaciated regions using a least-squares inversion approach. We also consider results from the input-output method (IOM) that quantifies the difference between mass input and output of the surface mass balance (SMB) components from the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model version 2 (RACMO2) and ice discharge (D) from 12 years of high-precision ice velocity and thickness surveys. We use a simulation model to quantify and correct for GRACE approximation errors in mass changes between different sub-regions of GrIS and investigate the reliability of pre-1990s ice discharge estimates based on modelled runoff. We find that the difference between IOM and our improved GRACE mass change estimates is reduced in terms of the long-term mass changes when using runoff-based discharge estimates in several sub-areas. In most regions our GRACE and IOM solutions are consistent with other studies, but differences remain in the northwestern GrIS. We verify the GRACE mass balance in that region by considering several different GIA models and mass change estimates derived from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation satellite (ICEsat). We conclude that the remaining differences between GRACE and IOM are likely due to underestimated uncertainties in the IOM solutions. © Author(s) 2015.
