Brief communication: PICOP, a new ocean melt parameterization under ice shelves combining PICO and a plume model
<p>Basal melting at the bottom of Antarctic ice shelves is a major control on glacier dynamics, as it modulates the amount of buttressing that floating ice shelves exert onto the ice streams feeding them. Three-dimensional ocean circulation numerical models provide reliable estimates of basal...
