The ocean plays an important role in modulating the mass balance of the polar ice sheets by interactingwith the ice shelves in Antarctica and with the marine-terminating outlet glaciers in Greenland. Given thatthe flux of warm water onto the continental shelf and into the sub-ice cavities is steered...
