| Summary: | This was the first FRISP workshop with a true Antarctic circumpolar focus, in fact there is also a contribution from one of the ice shelves in the Arctic, on Greenland. In total 21 talks were given at the workshop, with a main focus of physical oceanography below the ice shelves. This report contains 12 contributions based on the given presentations at the workshop. Two contributions are from the "Autosub under ice" session reporting on the recent cruise to Pine Island Bay in the Amundsen Sea. Good oceanographic and seabed data were gathered on the shelf, but the autosub did not make it under the ice shelf, so the first horizontal measurements below ice shelves are still eagerly awaited for. Three of the contributions describes the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf, both the marine ice distribution, and inflow of dense water in the west. The effect of opening and closing McMurdo sound below the Ross ice shelf is adressed, and general improved frazil ice dynamics for an Ice Shelf Water plume are presented. One contribution describes drift of icebergs in the Weddell Sea, and the Amery ice shelf in East Antarctica is the focus of the three last contributions. |
