The effects of thermodynamic parameterizations, ice shelf geometry, and tides on modeled basal melting of Weddell Sea ice shelves

Creator:

Mueller, Rachael D.

Abstract:

Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance and, hence, sea level change is affected by the floating extensions of outlet glaciers and ice streams that take up about 44% of the coastline (Drewry et al., 1982) and are referred to as "ice shelves". Ice sheet mass loss accelerates when these ice shelves...
