HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Ocean Sci. and collaborators from the Institute of Marine and, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia have published the research: Evaluation of basal melting parameterisations using in situ ocean and melting observations from the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: By combining these new estimates with available observations from other ice shelves the authors show that the commonly used current speed-dependent parameterisation overestimates melting at all but the coldest and most energetic cavity conditions. The three largest Antarctic ice shelves - Ross, Filchner-Ronne and Amery - are all cold-cavity ice . . .
