Basal melt rates and ocean circulation under the Ryder Glacier ice tongue and their response to climate warming: a high-resolution modelling study
The oceanic forcing of basal melt under floating ice shelves in Greenland and Antarctica is one of the major sources of rawafricaonline.com uncertainty in climate ice sheet modelling.We use a high-resolution, nonhydrostatic configuration of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm) to investigate basal melt rates
