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.

This poster focuses on the coupling, mapping files, and interaction between components.  The submission #26 Ocean Cavities Below Ice Shelves is on the numerical methods required to support sub-ice shelf cavities within the ocean model.
