Record #188249:

Large-scale oceanographic constraints on the distribution of melting and freezing under ice shelves / Christopher M. Little, Anand Gnanadesikan, Robert Hallberg.

Title: Large-scale oceanographic constraints on the distribution of melting and freezing under ice shelves / Christopher M. Little, Anand Gnanadesikan, Robert Hallberg.
Author(s): Little, Christopher M.

Date: 2009.
In: Journal of Physical Oceanography. (2009.), Vol. 38(10) (2009)
Abstract: Investigates influence of buoyancy fluxes on locations of melting and freezing under ice shelves under different bathymetric conditions. Topography may constrain circulation through influence on PV field, but melting and freezing induce local circulation that may modify locations of heat transport to ice shelf. Uses idealized set of "decoupled" numerical simulations employing fixed diapycnal fluxes. Experiments and scaling considerations indicate that topographic gradients dominate flow in interior, but recirculation plumes dominate near buoyancy fluxes. Compares thermodynamically decoupled models to "coupled" simulations in which ice-ocean heat and freshwater fluxes are driven by interior flow. Here influence of bathymetry on flow throughout cavity is weakened by stratification, ice shelf slope, and strong meridionally distributed buoyancy fluxes.
