Fig. 4: Differential basal melt and its determinants caused by differential channel cross-sectional shape.
From: Ice shelf basal channel shape determines channelized ice-ocean interactions
Distribution of a, d, g basal melt rates, time-averaged b, e, h near-ice temperature and c, f, i friction velocity in a–c H60W12, d–f H300W12, and g–i H300W4. The white and black contour lines in (a, d, g, b, e, h and c, f, i), respectively, indicate the ice shelf draft. Note that the extent of the planar base part adjacent to each side of the channel areas is consistently set to 10 km for all runs here.
