Summary
Abstract: Oceanographic data compiling of - salinity, current, pressure, ice-water interface data was gathered from under the Ross Ice shelf to gain a better understanding of the interactions of sub ice shelf water and the Ross Sea, with the intention of developing a model of the ocean – sea ice – ice shelf interaction.

Additional research has been undertaken to recognise the exchanges of energy and ... View entire text
