Fig. 7: Quantification of the relationship between heat discharge of channelized outflow and channel cross-sectional shape (CSS).
From: Ice shelf basal channel shape determines channelized ice-ocean interactions
a Nonlinear relationship of time- and discharge-averaged heat and discharge p.u.w. of channelized outflow against channel height for runs with 8 km width in S1. b Time series of discharge p.u.w. of channelized outflow in the quasi-steady state for S1 runs. c Linear relationship between discharge p.u.w. normalized using the corresponding values for 8 km width runs (red dots in (a)) and channel aspect ratio; the expression for channelized discharge is also provided. Comparison between calculated d heat and f buoyancy discharge of channelized outflow using the functions of channel CSS presented here and the corresponding modeled values. e Linear relationship between discharge-averaged buoyancy and heat.
