Interactions between the Southern Ocean and the Weddell Sea ice shelves are important
both to the Antarctic Ice Sheet and to the production of globally significant water masses …

The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the
ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical …

The basal mass balance of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) in East Antarctica is investigated using
a numerical ocean model. The main improvements of this model over previous studies are …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …

The response of ice shelf basal melting to climate is a function of ocean temperature,
circulation, and mixing in the open ocean and the coupling of this external forcing to the sub …

The seasonal sea ice zone encompasses the region between the winter maximum and
summer minimum sea ice extent. In both the Arctic and Antarctic, the majority of the ice cover …

We use new observations in Western McMurdo Sound, combined with longitudinal
hydrographic transects of the sound, to identify a northward‐flowing Ice Shelf Water (ISW) …

Variability in the volume of supercooled Ice Shelf Water outflow in McMurdo Sound is
reflected in the thickness and distribution of fast ice and the sub‐ice platelet layer beneath …

The Effects of Rotation and Ice Shelf Topography on Frazil-Laden Ice Shelf Water Plumes in:
Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 36 Issue 12 (2006) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Near ice shelves around Antarctica the ocean becomes supercooled and has been
observed to carry small suspended ice crystals. Our measurements demonstrate that these …
