The Antarctic Slope Current in a warming climate

南极冰盖融化是近几十年来全球海平面上升的28%的原因，到2100年，南极冰盖可以造成超过1米的海平面上升，到2500年，海平面上升到惊人的15米。通过研究南极海岸线周围水循环的变化，可以最好地理解冰川融化速度的增加。必须在该区域解决的各种物理过程结合在一起，对海洋观测和建模系统提出了很高的要求。该项目使用了一系列高分辨率的海洋和冰实验，并与观测交叉验证，以更深入地了解南极边缘的水域如何对人为和自然气候强迫做出反应。

Melting Antarctic ice sheets are responsible for 28% of global sea level rise in recent decades, and can contribute more than 1 metre of sea level rise by year 2100, and a staggering 15 metres by 2500. Increased glacial melt rates are best understood by studying changes in the circulation of water around the Antarctic coastline. The combination of physical processes that must be resolved in this region places a high demand on ocean observations and modelling systems. This project uses a series of high-resolution ocean and ice experiments, cross-validated with observations, to provide a deeper understanding of how waters at the Antarctic margin respond to both anthropogenic and natural climate forcing.
