a, Daily averaged and 180-day low-pass filtered current speed for all mooring instruments (left y axis). For comparison, also the daily averaged M1lower and AWI253 (350 m depth) temperatures are shown (right y axis). b, Relation between M1lower temperature and current speed at the six instruments (see Methods for details). The grey line shows the significant linear trend (b = 0.13 m s−1 °C−1). c–e, Mean de-seasoned basal melt rate (BMR) anomaly of FIS during P1 (c), P2 (d) and P3 (e). Positive (negative) values indicate stronger (weaker) basalt melting. The satellite image in c–e is from ref. 73.
