Abstract


New MPAS-Ocean domains include active ocean cells below ice shelves, in order to investigate the interaction between ocean currents and land ice. Warmer ocean currents may speed up ice shelf melting and retreat.  At the same time, changing land ice fluxes could affect ocean temperature, salinity, and currents below the ice shelf.  Modeling these regions is particularly important because these dynamics are poorly understood, and observations are sparse.
