YEAR EXPANSION GLACIER GREENLAND ANTARCTICA 1859 .000 .000 .000 .000 1869 .001 .000 -.001 .001 1879 .000 .001 .000 .002 1889 .001 .001 -.002 .001 1899 .005 .001 -.001 .001 1909 .006 .001 -.001 .000 1919 .006 .002 .000 .000 1929 .008 .003 .001 -.001 1939 .011 .004 .000 -.002 1949 .016 .007 .001 -.002 1959 .019 .008 .002 -.002 1969 .023 .010 .003 -.004 1979 .033 .013 .006 -.007 1989 .046 .018 .010 -.010 1999 .060 .025 .014 -.015 2009 .074 .034 .020 -.020 2019 .092 .044 .026 -.024 2029 .113 .053 .031 -.030 2039 .135 .066 .036 -.037 2049 .160 .081 .043 -.045 2059 .190 .099 .053 -.054 2069 .220 .117 .063 -.063 2079 .250 .141 .076 -.075 2089 .280 .164 .086 -.088 2099 .312 .191 .099 -.101 The values are given for 1st December on the year in the first column and where generated using decadal mean temperatures. The sea-level changes are in units of metres and are relative to 1860. On a seperate note, Jonathan also suggested you might know the "best" values of the ice parameters used in current runs of Magicc.
