    • Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier 

      Davidson, B. J.; Cowton, T. R.; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Sole, A. J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-25)
      Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland’s fjords, yet its impact on fjord dynamics remains unclear. We modify an ocean model to simulate submarine iceberg melting in Sermilik Fjord, east Greenland. Here we find that submarine iceberg melting cools and freshens the fjord by up to ~5 °C and ...
