a Temperature-salinity (TS) diagram from the BedMachine simulations. The colour shows depth and contours show potential density in (kg m−3) referenced to 0 m depth. b Difference between the volumetric TS diagrams for the SRTM15 and BedMachine simulations. Positive (negative) values correspond to the volume increase (decrease) in the SRTM15 simulation. c Time-averaged temperature difference at 400 m depth in (°C) between the SRTM15 and BedMachine simulation. Positive (negative) values correspond to the temperature increase (decrease) in the SRTM15 simulation. (black) Ice shelf boundary and coastline and (thick grey) 1000 m isobath.
