  • This data set represents the model results plotted in the figures in Bett et al. (2020). Data portrays Amundsen Sea freshwater fluxes and freshwater passive tracer results, along with the results on the effect of grounded icebergs and iceberg melt on sea ice and oceanic heat content. These results are derived from Amundsen Sea regional model simulations over the period 1979-2018, with the first 10 years regarded as model spin up. For full descriptions of the results plotted in each figure see Bett et al. (2020).

  • Marine ice data extracted from historical records of ship-observed sea ice and iceberg positions from the circum-Antarctic expeditions of James Cook (1772-75) and Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen (1819-21), including ice data from the separate voyages of the accompanying vessels. An indication of when size information was gathered in the journals is given, as well as when a vessel harvested water from iceberg growlers. Publication assisted by Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship EM-2022-042 to Professor Grant R. Bigg: "Extending the Southern Ocean marine ice record to the eighteenth century".

  • This dataset represents model output from 4 simulations of Store Glacier produced using the Elmer/Ice glacier model equipped with novel 3D calving subroutines. As described in the paper associated with this dataset (Todd et al., JGR, 2018), the model is initialised with velocity observations and then forced with present day environmental forcing. The simulation covers a 5 year time period with no fixed dates. Funding was provided by the NERC grant NE/K500884/1.
