in particular Thwaites Glacier. I examine how large-scale atmospheric circulation over the Southern Ocean, including the coupling of low- and high-pressure systems, helps to drive warm and moist air ...
The study also found that more than half of the glaciers (62%) undergo seasonal cycles in glacier calving—when large chunks of ice break away due to higher ocean and air temperatures.
the water level is temporarily raised when the large glacier blocks the narrow channel formed by Lake Argentino, resulting in regular thunderous ruptures of the glacier tongue into the lake.
