The interaction of ice shelves with the ocean water underneath is one of the key processes for the future development of ice masses. Especially for the Antarctic ice sheet, mass loss through ice shelves is the dominant component of loss in the mass budget. Water masses entering the Filchner-Ronne Ic...
