OCEAN:ICE Breakers
OCEAN:ICE Breakers is a knowledge series aiming to break down the into tangible and digestible content. Find the latest OCEAN:ICE Breakers here.
OCEAN:ICE Objective 2
The second objective of OCEAN:ICE aims to improve critical ice sheet-ocean processes in numerical models, using historical observations and new data sets obtained in the project. Particularly under warm and cold ice shelves and around grounded icebergs, including vertical/horizontal mixing, ocean heat delivery, iceberg interactions with sea-ice and bathmetry and basal melt. Implement these improvements in coupled ice sheet-ocean and ice sheet-climate models.
OCEAN:ICE Objective 1
This OCEAN:ICE Breaker starts to dive into the 7 specific objectives of OCEAN:ICE. Objective 1 aims to reduce the spatial and knowledge gaps in ocean observations around Antarctica, particularly relating to ice sheet-ocean interaction and deep water formation and export. This will assess the oceanic controls on heat and freshwater delivery to and from ‘cold’ (e.g. Weddell Sea) as well as ‘warm’ (Amundsen Sea) sites of ice sheet-ocean interaction around Antarctica, and the processes that control mixing, water mass formation and export over the continental shelves and subpolar basins.
