| Summary: | What are the major goals of the project? The overarching science goal of the project is to advance Earth System science by proposing a more realistic representation of physical processes in a Greenland fjord to enable future studies of ice-sheet/ocean interactions and their impact on the Greenland Ice Sheets (GrIS) (in many fjords) and on pan-Arctic climate variability. To achieve this objective, we proposed to build a new, separate, high-resolution ocean model for use in Earth System Models (ESMs) to realistically represent the complex three-dimensional physics of the fjord, its bathymetry, coastlines, and coupling with both ice-shelf and the outer ocean around Greenland using discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods.
