An Analytical Derivation of Ice-Shelf Basal Melt Based on the Dynamics of Meltwater Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe interaction between ice shelves and the ocean is an important process for the development of marine ice sheets. However, it is difficult to model in full detail due to the high computational cost of coupled ...
Representation of Antarctic Katabatic Winds in a High-Resolution GCM and a Note on Their Climate Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution GCM (ECHAM-3 T106, resolution 1.1° ? 1.1°) is found to simulate many characteristic features of the Antarctic climate. The position and depth of the circumpolar storm belt, the semiannual cycle of the ...
