a–p, The evolution of potential temperature (colours) and potential density (contour lines) along sections in the Filchner trough (a–h) and Ross embayment (i–p) for SSP245 2040s (a and i), 2090s (b and j), 2140s (c and k) and 2190s (d and l) and SSP585 2040s (e and m), 2090s (f and n), 2140s (g and o) and 2190s (h and p). The coloured text and arrows indicate net heat flux into the FRIS or RIS cavity. Section locations are shown in Extended Data Fig. 1. TW, terawatt.
