Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier

BJ Davison, TR Cowton, FR Cottier, AJ Sole - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg
melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland's fjords, yet its impact on fjord …

Modeling the breakup of tabular icebergs

MR England, TJW Wagner, I Eisenman - Science advances, 2020 - science.org
Nearly half of the freshwater flux from the Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Southern Ocean occurs
in the form of large tabular icebergs that calve off the continent's ice shelves. However …

Ocean currents break up a tabular iceberg

A Huth, A Adcroft, O Sergienko, N Khan - Science Advances, 2022 - science.org
In December 2020, giant tabular iceberg A68a (surface area 3900 km2) broke up in open
ocean much deeper than its keel, indicating that the breakage was not immediately caused …

Dissolution-driven propulsion of floating solids

M Chaigne, M Berhanu… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
We show that unconstrained asymmetric dissolving solids floating in a fluid can move
rectilinearly as a result of attached density currents which occur along their inclined …

Impact of giant iceberg A68A on the physical conditions of the surface South Atlantic, derived using remote sensing

RM Smith, GR Bigg - Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Giant icebergs release cold, fresh meltwater as they drift, perturbing the physical conditions
of the surface ocean. This study uses satellite‐derived sea surface salinity and temperature …
