Abstract
To date and to our knowledge, no climate models have included explicit static sub-ice-shelf cavities and associated calculation of sub-ice-shelf heat and moisture fluxes as part of coupled simulations. Inclusion of ice shelf cavities and associated processes is (1) a critical first step towards full coupling of the marine-based Antarctic Ice Sheet and (2) a unique scientific capability in its own right.
