A protocol for calculating basal melt rates in the ISMIP6 Antarctic ice sheet projections

<p>Climate model projections have previously been used to compute ice shelf basal melt rates in ice sheet models, but the strategies employed – e.g., ocean input, parameterization, calibration technique, and corrections – have varied widely and are often ad hoc. Here, a methodology is proposed...
