Fig. 1: Study region and hydrographic properties variability.
From: Ocean variability beneath Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf driven by the Pine Island Bay Gyre strength
a Bathymetry of the continental shelf of the Amundsen Sea showing a schematic of the main pathways of modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW; back dashed arrows) and ice shelves: Abbot Ice Shelf (AIS), Cosgrove Ice Shelf (CIS), Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS), Thwaites Ice Shelf (TIS), Crosson Ice Shelf (CrIS), Dotson Ice Shelf (DIS), and Getz Ice Shelf (GIS). Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) is delimited by the blue rectangle. b TEIS study region showing the AMIGOS3a (blue dot) and AMIGOS3c (red dot) sites. Ice thickness, bathymetry, and grounding line (dark red) from BedMachine Antarctic v2, ref. 37. Time-mean (January 2020 to March 2021) velocity vectors are shown for the upper sensors (cyan arrow) and deeper sensors (orange arrow) at the AMIGOS3a and AMIGOS3c sites. c Daily conservative temperature for the different sensors according to the legend. The mean depth of each sensor is shown in the legend. d Daily absolute salinity records. e Daily meltwater content estimated from conservative temperature and absolute salinity.
