a Domain of the L1 regional model resolving northward transport in the West Greenland Current (WGC) to Qeqertarsuup Tunua. Global inset shows location of the L1 regional model in the context of the global-ocean ECCO-Darwin domain. b Domain of the L2 fjord-scale model of Qeqertarsuup Tunua and the Kangiata Sullua and Torsukattak fjord systems. The extent of the L2 domain within L1 is shown in the orange polygon in panel a. The black polygon encompassing the Sullorsuaq Strait is used to sample model results upstream of the glacier outlets. c Geometry of Kangiata Sullua with Sermeq Kujalleq (SK) on the right. The pink shading represents the concentrations of nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, and silica) within the fjord system with low nutrient concentrations in the photic zone and elevated nutrients at depth.
