Heat‐transfer analysis of the basal melting of antarctic ice shelves
Abstract Basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves is an important element in the overall balance of Antarctic ice. A heat‐transfer model for the basal melting of the Drygalski Ice Tongue is presented. The model does not contain any adjustable parameter. The calculated basal melting rate agrees very we...
