We have presented a comparative analysis of the sea level finger-prints of rapid ice sheet melting computed using a number of nu-merical methods and based on earth models and sea level theoriesof varying complexity.
As an example, a comparison of a pseudo-spectral calculationof the sea level change in a global (i.e. no continent) ocean due torapid melting of the WAIS with an analytic solution demonstratedthat pseudo-spectral sea level solvers, which are the most commonalgorithms for computing deglaciation-induced sea level change,converge to the correct solution (Fig. 3). Furthermore, we were ableto reproduce to within ∼1 per cent accuracy peak values of the

sea level fingerprint associated with uniform melting of the WAISpublished by Clark & Lingle (1977) for the case of a non-rotating,1-D elastic earth model with fixed, present-day ocean geometry anda Green’s function sea level solver (Fig. 1). The agreement wasevident in comparisons with solutions computed using a pseudo-spectral solver based on both a 1-D Love number formulation anda space-domain solver based on a 3-D finite volume code for pre-dicting the Earth’s elastic response to loading.
One of the most pressing applications of fingerprint studies isthe projection of future sea level changes following the collapse ofexisting reservoirs of ice. We have presented a detailed comparisonof two recent projections involving the potential collapse of theWAIS (Bamber et al. 2009; Mitrovica et al. 2009; Gomez et al.2010) which were based on rotating earth models with evolvingshoreline geometry. The projections by Mitrovica et al. (2009) andGomez et al. (2010) are characterized by a peak far field sea levelamplification relative to the eustatic trend of ∼37 per cent, whichis significantly higher than the 25 per cent amplification factor
