Seasonal Outflow of Ice Shelf Water Across the Front of the Filchner Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea, Antarctica. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2018 AbstractThe ice shelf water (ISW) found in the Filchner Trough, located in the southern Weddell Sea, Antarctica, is climatically important; it descends into the deep Weddell Sea contributing to bottom water formation, and it blocks warm off‐shelf waters from accessing the Filchner ice shelf cavity.

Ice Shelf Water Structure Beneath the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 AbstractUnderstanding ice shelf water (ISW) structure is crucial for studying the basal melting of ice shelves. In this study, we performed large‐eddy simulation experiments to assess ISW structure and basal melt patterns under different current velocity scenarios observed in the Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica.

Observations of the size distribution of frazil ice in an Ice Shelf Water plume [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 The size distribution of frazil ice is currently unconstrained in ice shelf cavity modeling. Here we observe the time-dependent behavior of the number and size of frazil ice particles in an Ice Shelf Water plume. A novel acoustic scattering inversion was used to infer frazil ice crystal diameters, assuming a log-normal distribution.

Correction to “Ice Shelf Water plume flow beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica” [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2007 [1] In the paper ‘‘Ice Shelf Water plume flow beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica’’ by Paul R. Holland, Daniel L. Feltham, and Adrian Jenkins (Journal of Geophysical Research, 112 , C05044, doi :10 .1029/ 2006JG003915), there are two errors. In the abstract, the sentence ‘‘The model domain is defined from measurements of ice shelf draft, and ...

Frazil ice formation in an ice shelf water plume [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2004 We present a model for the growth of frazil ice crystals and their accumulation as marine ice at the base of Antarctic ice shelves. The model describes the flow of buoyant water upward along the ice shelf base and includes the differential growth of a range of crystal sizes.

The Effects of Rotation and Ice Shelf Topography on Frazil-Laden Ice Shelf Water Plumes [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2006 Abstract A model of the dynamics and thermodynamics of a plume of meltwater at the base of an ice shelf is presented. Such ice shelf water plumes may become supercooled and deposit marine ice if they rise (because of the pressure decrease in the in situ freezing temperature), so the model incorporates both melting and freezing at the ice

Ice Shelf Water plume flow beneath Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2007 A two‐dimensional plume model is used to study the interaction between Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica and its underlying ocean cavity. Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plumes are initiated by the freshwater released from a melting ice shelf and, if they rise, may become supercooled and deposit marine ice due to the pressure increase in the in situ freezing ...

On-shelf circulation of warm water toward the Totten Ice Shelf in East Antarctica
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractThe Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, with an ice volume equivalent to >3.5 m of global sea-level rise, is grounded below sea level and, therefore, vulnerable to ocean forcing. Here, we use bathymetric and oceanographic observations from previously unsampled parts of the Totten continental shelf to reveal on-shelf warm water pathways ...

Measurements of Ice Shelf Water beneath the front of the Ross Ice Shelf using gliders [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 ABSTRACTMeasurements made by an underwater glider deployed near the Ross Ice Shelf were used to identify the presence of Ice Shelf Water (ISW), which is defined as seawater with its potential temperature lower than its surface freezing point temperature.

The Cryosphere, 2022 Abstract. Coastal polynyas in the Ross Sea are important source regions of high salinity shelf water (HSSW) – the precursor of Antarctic Bottom Water that supplies the lower limb of the thermohaline circulation. Here, the response of sea ice production and HSSW formation to synoptic- and meso-scale cyclones were investigated for the Ross Ice Shelf ...
