Circumpolar Effects of a Velocity‐Restoring Scheme for Antarctic Fast Ice on Shelf Waters and Ice Shelf Melt Simulated by NEMO4‐SI 3
Dense water formation in the Southern Ocean plays a key role in the global ocean overturning circulation, affecting the distribution of heat, carbon, oxygen, and nutrients. Fast ice stays immobile while blocking sea ice flow, favoring the opening of coastal polynyas, where intense air‐sea exchanges drive sea ice prod...
