Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier

Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier

Iceberg melting releases large volumes of freshwater in fjords, yet the impact on oceanic heat delivery to tidewater glaciers is unknown. Here the authors show that iceberg melting invigorates fjord circulation in a large, iceberg-congested fjord, thereby increasing oceanic heat delivery to its tide...
