| In February 2010, the Mertz Glacier Tongue (MGT) calved, releasing an 80 x 40 km iceberg. We have developed a high-resolution barotropic ocean model of the region to simulate the local circulation in response to tides and atmospheric forcing. We improved the coastline, grounding line position and built a new bathymetry using satellite imagery and older bathymetry data to derive the best available tidal model for the region. We compared this and other available models to seven different sea level observations available in the area and significantly improved the tidal solutions reaching a root sum square of 2.3 cm. This model was then run in different bathymetric configurations, considering the ice draft of the major icebergs B9B and C28, to simulate the... |
