Melting ice shelves in ocean models: an idealised model intercomparison project

Melting ice shelves in ocean models: an idealised model intercomparison project

Antarctic ice shelves melt from beneath where they contact the ocean, but how well do ocean models simulate this process? Building on several decades of model development, a recent model intercomparison study compared ice shelf-ocean models from modelling groups around the world with the same, idealised benchmark configuration. From this effort, we can learn how …[Read More]
