Residence Time and Transformation of Warm Circumpolar Deep Water on the Antarctic Continental Shelf

Abstract Inflow of warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the Antarctic continental shelf and into ice shelf cavities is a key driver of Antarctic ice shelf mass loss. While recent research has advanced understanding of CDW heat transport onto the continental shelf, the fate of CDW on the s...
