Spatial distribution of melt rate anomalies under COLD (a) and WARM (b) forcing. The yellow solid line indicates the cross-channel (west to east) sections through the example channel illustrated in the following panels. Gray contours indicate the ROUGH ice draft at 50 m intervals. Reference salinity cross-sections and melt rate anomalies (color shading diamonds) along the cross-section under COLD (c) and WARM (d) forcing. Black solid lines represent the smoothed version of the channel in the SMOOTH draft. Thermal driving anomalies (in red) and flow speed anomalies (in blue) along the cross-section under COLD (e) and WARM (f) forcing.
