Antarctic Ice Sheet melting in the southeast Pacific
The first oceanographic measurements across a deep channel beneath the calving front of Pine Island Glacier reveal a sub‐ice circulation driven by basal melting of 10–12 m yr−1. A salt box model described here gives a melt rate similar to that of ice balance and numerical models, 5–50 times higher t...
