Tidal vertical mixing beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf

High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW) flowing into the cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) occupies the lower portion of the water column. Tidal mixing is likely to be a primary mechanism for mixing HSSW up through the water column, where it is transformed through
