Topographic Shelf Waves Control Seasonal Melting Near Antarctic Ice Shelf Grounding Lines

Abstract The buttressing potential of ice shelves is modulated by changes in subshelf melting, in response to changing ocean conditions. We analyze the temporal variability in subshelf melting using an autonomous phase‐sensitive radio‐echo sounder near the grounding line of the Roi Baudouin Ice Shel...
