Subglacial Freshwater Drainage Increases Simulated Basal Melt of the Totten Ice Shelf
Abstract Subglacial freshwater discharge from beneath Antarctic glaciers likely has a strong impact on ice shelf basal melting. However, the difficulty in directly observing subglacial flow highlights the importance of modeling these processes. We use an ocean model of the Totten Ice Shelf cavity in...
