Increased melting of marine-terminating glaciers by sediment-laden plumes
McConnochie, C. D., & Cenedese, C., 2023. Increased Melting of Marine-Terminating Glaciers by Sediment-Laden Plumes. Geophysical Research Letters, 50(20), e2023GL103736. https://doi.org/10.1029/2023GL103736
Measured melt rate (blue circles, left axis) and the entrainment coefficient estimated by McConnochie et al. (2021) (black crosses, right axis) plotted against the buoyancy flux ratio (bottom axis). An estimate of the particle concentration is also shown (top axis). Also shown is an empirical fit to the entrainment coefficient (black line, right axis) from McConnochie et al. (2021) given by α = 0.105 − 0.75P. (Image provided by Claudia Cenedese)
