Extended Data Fig. 2: Parameterized sub-shelf melt rates.
From: Ocean warming as a trigger for irreversible retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet
Top panels show example melt rates at the beginning of the forward-perturbed simulation using the NEMO4 ocean model output. a) fixed ocean model melt rates Moc, b) modern analogue melt rates Mmat, c) quadratic parameterized melt rates. Mquad Bottom bar plots show integrated ice shelf melt rates for the d) Filchner-Ronne, e) Ross and f) Amundsen Sea Embayment catchments, for all ocean model experiments and melt rate parameterizations. Note that for NEMO4 the quadratic parameterization overestimates melt in the Ross catchment amounting to 6000 Gt/yr (and is hence beyond the y-axis scale).
