Near‐glacier surveying of a subglacial discharge plume: Implications for plume parameterizations

Near‐glacier surveying of a subglacial discharge plume: Implications for plume parameterizations

Abstract At tidewater glaciers, plume dynamics affect submarine melting, fjord circulation, and the mixing of meltwater. Models often rely on buoyant plume theory to parameterize plumes and submarine melting; however, these parameterizations are largely untested due to a dearth of near‐glacier measu...
