Modelling the interaction between Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
The increased loss of ice from the coastal margins of Antarctica (e.g. Wingham et al. 2006) is mostly due to the rapid thinning and retreat of ice streams, driven by the enhanced melting of the ice shelves that fringe the continent (e.g. Shepherd et al. 2004). The enhanced supply of cool and fresh g...
