Wind-Driven Processes Controlling Oceanic Heat Delivery to the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica

Variability in the heat delivery by Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is responsible for modulating the basal melting of the Amundsen Sea ice shelves. However, the mechanisms controlling the CDW inflow to the region’s continental shelf remain little understood. Here, a high-resolution regional model is u...
