    • Modeling Ice-shelf Ocean Interaction at Petermann Glacier, Greenland 

      Bao, Weiyang (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-15)
      Petermann Glacier drains about 4% of the Greenland ice sheet area, with at least 80% of its mass loss through basal melting of the floating ice shelf. Utilizing a high-resolution coupled ice-shelf-ocean model, we aim at understanding the ocean circulation in Nares Strait and the mechanism of oceanic heat supply below the ice shelf as well as quantifying the basal mass loss. The numerical model is ...

    • A nested high-resolution unstructured grid 3-D ocean-sea ice-ice shelf setup for numerical investigations of the Petermann ice shelf and fjord 

      Prakash, Abhay; Zhou, Qin; Hattermann, Tore; Bao, Weiyang; Graversen, Rune Grand; Kirchner, Nina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-18)
      Three-dimensional numerical simulation of circulation in fjords hosting marine-terminating ice shelves is challenging because of the complexity of processes involved in such environments. This often requires a comprehensive model setup. The following elements are needed: bathymetry (usually unknown beneath the glacier tongue), ice shelf draft (impacting water column thickness), oceanographic state ...
