The mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet is accelerating in recent years, and its pace is expected to increase in the future warmer climate. Because the mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet can enhance global sea level rise substantially, it is crucial to understand the detailed response of the ice sheet surface to the changes in surface atmospheric conditions driven mainly by the Southern Ocean. Therefore, in this present study, we apply a polar regional climate model called NHM-SMAP, which was originally developed for the Greenland ice sheet (Niwano et al., 2018, 2019, 2021; Fettweis et al., 2020), in Antarctica and analyze its simulation results from 1991 to the present. According to our evaluation of the model in terms of the ice sheet surface mass balance during the study period, mean error and root mean square error are –12.2 mm year–1 and 139.8 mm year–1, respectively, which are better than those obtained in the Greenland ice sheet (Niwano et al., 2018; Fettweis et al., 2020). Therefore, in this contribution, we focus mainly on surface atmospheric and snow/ice physical conditions relevant to the ice sheet surface mass balance, and present comprehensive model performance/characteristics.
