The Finite Element Sea-ice Ocean Model (FESOM) is being utilized with a high resolution mesh focused on the Antarctic marginal seas and ice shelves to investigate the changes induced in ocean circulation and sea ice distribution by prescribing increased melt rates for the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (F...
