Ocean heat transport pathways to Totten Glacier revealed so far by this research group

Caption

Ocean heat transport pathways to Totten Glacier revealed so far by this research group. Background color is the mean dynamic ocean topography for the period 2011-2022. A deep ocean basin is extending north of the 1000 m depth contour line. In situ observations have confirmed the existence of stationary oceanic eddy trains (eddies ①  to ④) in the basin area and the existence of clockwise circulation on the continental shelf.
