Ocean mixing beneath Pine Island Glacier ice shelf, West Antarctica
Ice shelves around Antarctica are vulnerable to an increase in ocean-driven melting, with the melt rate depending on ocean temperature and the strength of flow inside the ice-shelf cavities. We present measurements of velocity, temperature, salinity, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and thermal variance dissipation rate beneath Pine Island Glacier ice shelf, West Antarctica. These mea...
متن کاملIce-shelf buttressing and the stability of marine ice sheets
Ice-shelf buttressing and the stability of marinetype ice sheets are investigated numerically. Buttressing effects are analysed for a situation where a stable grounding line is located on a bed sloping upwards in the direction of flow. Such grounding-line positions are known to be unconditionally unstable in the absence of transverse flow variations. It is shown that ice-shelf buttressing can r...
متن کاملIce-shelf – ocean interactions at Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica from oxygen isotope ratio measurements
Melt water from the floating ice shelves at the margins of the southeastern Weddell Sea makes a significant contribution to the fresh water budget of the region. In February 2005 a multi-institution team conducted an oceanographic campaign at Fimbul Ice Shelf on the Greenwich Meridian as part of the Autosub Under Ice programme. This included a mission of the autonomous submarine Autosub 25 km i...
متن کاملContrasting sub-ice shelf, sub glacial and glacial marine deposition: Implications for ice shelf stability
Contrasting sub-ice shelf, sub glacial and glacial marine deposition: Implications for ice shelf stability" (2007). Related Publications from ANDRILL Affiliates. Paper 10. Summary Data from cores collected from sites that were beneath the Ross Ice Shelf until 2000 and 2002 indicate that sub-ice shelf lithofacies are distinguishable from sub-glacial and glacial marine facies. Glacial marine sedi...
متن کاملReflection and transmission at the ocean/sea-ice boundary
The scattering of water waves by the edge of a semi-infinite ice sheet in a finite depth ocean is solved using the residue calculus technique. We consider both the case where the obliquely-incident plane wave is from the open sea region and the complementary problem where the wave is incident from the ice covered region. Exact solutions to these problems are obtained, equivalent to those that c...
