To delineate the glacial meltwater distribution, we used five noble gases for optimum multiparameter analysis (OMPA) of the water masses in the Dotson-Getz Trough (DGT), Amundsen Sea. The increased number of tracers allowed us to define potential source waters at the surface, which have not been pos...
