Icebergs melting

C Cenedese, F Straneo - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Iceberg calving accounts for half of the mass discharge from the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets, which has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Through their …

Antarctic icebergs reorganize ocean circulation during Pleistocene glacials

A Starr, IR Hall, S Barker, T Rackow, X Zhang… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The dominant feature of large-scale mass transfer in the modern ocean is the Atlantic
meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The geometry and vigour of this circulation …

Measurements of iceberg melt rates using high‐resolution GPS and iceberg surface scans

KM Schild, DA Sutherland, P Elosegui… - Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Increasing freshwater input to the subpolar North Atlantic through iceberg melting can
influence fjord‐scale to basin‐scale ocean circulation. However, the magnitude, timing, and …

The history of a cluster of large icebergs on leaving the Weddell Sea pack ice and their impact on the ocean

GR Bigg, R Marsh - Antarctic Science, 2023 - cambridge.org
The life history and oceanic impact of three very large icebergs that escaped together from
the Weddell Sea sea ice, near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, are traced from March 2014 …

Monitoring Greenland ice sheet buoyancy-driven calving discharge using glacial earthquakes

A Sergeant, A Mangeney, VA Yastrebov… - Annals of …, 2019 - cambridge.org
Since the 2000s, Greenland ice sheet mass loss has been accelerating, followed by
increasing numbers of glacial earthquakes (GEs) at near-grounded glaciers. GEs are …

Parameterizing tabular‐iceberg decay in an ocean model

A Huth, A Adcroft, O Sergienko - Journal of Advances in …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Large tabular icebergs account for the majority of ice mass calved from Antarctic ice shelves,

existence of substantial glacial ice on the Northeast Siberian coast during the late …

Modeling tabular icebergs submerged in the ocean

AA Stern, A Adcroft, O Sergienko… - Journal of Advances in …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Large tabular icebergs calved from Antarctic ice shelves have long lifetimes (due to their
large size), during which they drift across large distances, altering ambient ocean circulation …
