Sensitivity of simulated water mass transformation on the Antarctic shelf to tides, topography and model resolution

Sensitivity of simulated water mass transformation on the Antarctic shelf to tides, topography and model resolution

Water mass transformation (WMT) around the Antarctic margin controls Antarctica Bottom Water formation and the abyssal limb of the global meridional overturning circulation, besides mediating ocean-ice shelf exchange, ice sheet stability and its contribution to sea level rise. However, the mechanism...
