The Impact of Fronts and Eddies Under Various Melt Conditions on Antarctic Ice Shelves
Ocean eddies are observed beneath Antarctic ice shelves, yet their role in regulating basal melting remains unclear. We use nonhydrostatic Large‐Eddy Simulations that resolve eddies and boundary‐layer turbulence to examine a baroclinically unstable salinity front that breaks into eddies. Anticyclones reorganize the den...
