Modeling the effect of Ross Ice Shelf melting on the Southern Ocean in quasi-equilibrium

<p>To study the influence of basal melting of the Ross Ice Shelf (BMRIS) on the Southern Ocean (ocean southward of 35°&thinsp;S) in quasi-equilibrium, numerical experiments with and without the BMRIS effect were performed using a global ocean–sea ice–ice shelf coupled model. In both exp...
