What is Ice Shelf Cavity Ventilation Study about?

1) The experiment simulates density-driven circulation under an idealized Antarctic ice shelf to investigate flux of dense and fresh water into and out of the ice shelf cavity. 2) Results show the ice front acts as a partial barrier, inhibiting some fluid exchange but allowing significant exchange through gravity plumes along cavity walls driven by Coriolis forces. 3) The strength of the dynamic barrier and flux through gravity plumes depends on ice shelf geometry and buoyancy forcing.
