Ice shelf basal melting is the major cause of the current mass loss of Antarctic ice sheets. The resultant meltwater plumes contribute to the development of the unique two-layer stratified ice shelf–ocean boundary currents underlain by warmer, saltier, and stationary source waters. However, knowledg...
