The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

[HTML][HTML] Is Ekman pumping responsible for the seasonal variation of warm circumpolar deep water in the Amundsen Sea?
Ekman pumping induced by horizontally varying wind and sea ice drift is examined as an
explanation for observed seasonal variation of the warm layer thickness of circumpolar deep …

Antarctic Slope Undercurrent and onshore heat transport driven by ice shelf melting
Elevated ice shelf melt rates in West Antarctica have been attributed to transport of warm
Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the continental shelf via bathymetric troughs. These …

Oceanic heat delivery to the Antarctic continental shelf: Large‐scale, low‐frequency variability
Onshore penetration of oceanic water across the Antarctic continental slope (ACS) plays a
major role in global sea level rise by delivering heat to the Antarctic marginal seas, thus …

The dynamics of a barotropic current impinging on an ice front
The vertical front of ice shelves represents a topographic barrier for barotropic currents that
transport a considerable amount of heat toward the ice shelves. The blocking effect of the ice …

Is the oceanic heat flux on the central Amundsen sea shelf caused by barotropic or baroclinic currents?
The glaciers that drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Amundsen Sea are accelerating
and experiencing increased basal melt of the floating ice shelves. Warm and salty deep …
