A protocol for calculating basal melt rates in the ismip6 antarctic ice sheet projections

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: The Cryosphere and colleagues from the Alpes/CNRS/IRD/G-INP, IGE, France , Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA have published the paper: A protocol for calculating basal melt rates in the ISMIP6 Antarctic ice sheet projections, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 28/08/2020
• what: Basal melt parameterizations such as those the authors propose for ISMIP6 require knowledge of the "ambient" ocean properties (i.e., ocean temperature and salinity unaffected by interactions with the melt plume), preferably as functions of depth within the ice shelf cavity . . .
