Simulations of the ocean dynamics in the cavity under the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, were carried out using a three-dimensional numerical ocean model. The aims were as follows: first, to describe the ocean circulation, the temperature and salinity distributions, and the interaction of the oce...
