Modeling ice shelf/ocean interaction in Antarctica: A review
The most rapid loss of ice from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is observed where ice streams flow
into the ocean and begin to float, forming the great Antarctic ice shelves that surround much …

Modeling thermodynamic ice–ocean interactions at the base of an ice shelf
Abstract Models of ocean circulation beneath ice shelves are driven primarily by the heat
and freshwater fluxes that are associated with phase changes at the ice–ocean boundary …

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature
Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are
a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost …

Melting of ice shelves and the mass balance of Antarctica
We calculate the present ice budget for Antarctica from measurements of accumulation
minus iceberg calving, run-off and in situ melting beneath the floating ice shelves. The …

Projecting Antarctica's contribution to future sea level rise from basal ice shelf melt using linear response functions of 16 ice sheet models (LARMIP-2)
The sea level contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet constitutes a large uncertainty in future
sea level projections. Here we apply a linear response theory approach to 16 state-of-the-art …
