Fig. 2

a A snapshot of the ocean current speed in (m s−1) at 100 m depth at the end of the BedMachine simulation. (thin black) Ice shelf boundary, (thick black) 1000 m isobath, and (thick arrow) ASC and (thin arrow) AACC pathways are shown. b Time-averaged vertical and meridional section of temperature in (°C) at 98°E. Black contours show isopycnals in (kg m−3).
