This meteorology image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file . This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with


{{

.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Greenland Ice Mass Trend.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter.

This meteorology image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data . This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts , derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed ). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with

If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}} . For more information, see {{BadJPEG}} .

Summary

Description Greenland Ice Mass Trend.jpg	English: NASA satellite data has revealed regional changes in the weight of the Greenland ice sheet between 2003 and 2005. Low coastal regions (blue) lost three times as much ice per year from excess melting and icebergs than the high-elevation interior (orange/red) gained from excess snowfall.
