Ocean variability beneath Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf driven by the Pine Island Bay Gyre strength
A weaker ocean gyre in the Pine Island Bay, suppressed by higher sea-ice concentration over the ocean near the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, allows more meltwater to enter the sub-ice-shelf cavity. This increases the ocean temperature beneath the ice.
