Simulating the Effect of Accelerated Freshwater Discharge from the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets on the Ocean Circulation

Fresh water discharge from the largest ice sheets (Antarctica and Greenland) is accelerating as the Earth warms, resulting in sea level rise and changes in ocean circulation. Understanding the relevant ocean and ice processes will help project possible future climate states
