Parameterization for subgrid-scale motion of ice-shelf calving fronts
A parameterization for the motion of ice-shelf fronts on a Cartesian grid in finite-difference land-ice models is presented. The scheme prevents artificial thinning of the ice shelf at its edge, which occurs due to the finite resolution of the model. The intuitive numerical implementation diminishes numerical dispersion at the ice front and enables the application of physical boundary condition...
متن کاملIce Shelf Water plume flow beneath FilchnerRonne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
[1] A two-dimensional plume model is used to study the interaction between FilchnerRonne 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 temperature. The aim of this modeling st...
متن کاملAntarctic Ice Shelf Tide Modeling Using PALSAR Interferometry
The knowledge of ocean tides underneath permanently or seasonally sea ice covered ocean and ice shelves over Antarctica, is largely unknown. Significant amount of West Antarctic ice sheet melt is through the mechanism of basal melting and due to turbulent tidal mixing. Knowledge of the ice shelf grounding lines and their extent, are critical to accurately quantify ice sheet mass balance, and oc...

متن کاملThe Effects of Rotation and Ice Shelf Topography on Frazil-Laden Ice Shelf Water Plumes
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 shelf base and a multiple-size-class model of frazil ice dynamics ...
