High-resolution barotropic modeling and the calving of the Mertz Glacier, East Antarctica

In February 2010, the Mertz Glacier Tongue (MGT) calved, releasing an 80 × 40 km iceberg. We have developed a high-resolution barotropic ocean model of the region to simulate the local circulation in response to tides and atmospheric forcing. We improved
