The basal mass balance of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) in East Antarcticais investigated using a numerical ocean model. The main improvements ofthis model over previous studies are the inclusion of frazil formation and dynamics, tides and the use of the latest estimate of the sub-ice-shelf cavitygeomet...
