In the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) located in West Antarctica, the Pine Island, Thwaites, Smith, and Kohler glaciers are all experiencing rapid mass loss and rounding line retreat because of enhanced ocean thermal forcing from Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intruding into the ice shelf cavities.

In the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) located in West Antarctica, the Pine Island, Thwaites, Smith, and Kohler glaciers are all experiencing rapid mass loss and rounding line retreat because of enhanced ocean thermal forcing from Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intruding into the ice shelf cavities. Here, we use 1 year of 6-hourly average outputs (September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007) from the Southern Ocean high-resolution (SOhi) simulation and Lagrangian particles to backtrack the transport and cooling of warm water to the grounding lines of these glaciers. SOhi is a 1/24 degrees model with 225 vertical levels and includes sea ice, oceanic tides, and all ice shelves.
