Linking Overturning, Recirculation, and Melt in Glacial Fjords
Abstract Fjord circulation modulates the connection between marine‐terminating glaciers and the ocean currents offshore. These fjords exhibit both overturning and horizontal recirculations, which are driven by water mass transformation at the head of the fjord via subglacial discharge plumes and dis...
