Modeling the impact of glacial runoff on fjord circulation and submarine melt rate using a new subgrid‐scale parameterization for glacial plumes
The injection at depth of ice sheet runoff into fjords may be an important control on the frontal
melt rate of tidewater glaciers. Here we develop a new parameterization for ice marginal …

The impact of glacier geometry on meltwater plume structure and submarine melt in Greenland fjords
Abstract Meltwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet often drains subglacially into fjords, driving
upwelling plumes at glacier termini. Ocean models and observations of submarine termini …
