Turbulent vertical heat flux under Antarctic on-shelf sea ice intensified by the Amundsen Sea Undercurrent

Abstract The Amundsen Sea Undercurrent, off West Antarctica, transports warm Circumpolar Deep Water onto the continental shelf, driving basal melting when it reaches the ice shelves through troughs. However, vertical heat loss from the warm inflow to the cold upper ocean remains understudied. Here w...
