According to the research published in the Journal ofGeophysical Research Letters, the loss of ice in Western Antarctica caused the reduction of the gravitational force in this region. The melting of calules caused a mass loss, which is clearly seen from space in Western Antarctica, this reduction was weakened by the gravitational force.

Information about gravity of West Antarctica according to the news of Al Jazeera was obtained by the European Space Agency (ESA) GOCE satellite. Science analyzed the data obtained from 2009-2012 of the satellite that ends in November 2013. The data reviewed by German, Dutch and U.S. showed that it was accelerated to melt in ice and ice layers due to increased hot ocean discharges. [

According to the information provided byESA, the year-round loss in Antarctica between 2011 and 2014 was 125 kilometers and determined. Western Antarctica is estimated to be 230 billion tons of iced amount lost between 2009-2012.

The research team located at the beginning of Johannes Bouman, from the German Jeodezik Research Institute, will try to determine the total frost loss of Antarctica using the data in the mission of Grace of NASA and Germany.
