Ice shelf-ocean interaction and meltwater transport - Updates on modelling the present state and future scenarios with FESOM
In the Amundsen Sea, warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intrudes onto the continental shelf and flows into the ice shelf cavities of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), resulting in high basal melt rates. This affects the world ocean in two ways: First, melting of the ice sheets contributes to chang...
