Figure from Modeling tides in the Weddell and Scotia Seas

Return to the article from which this figure is taken.

Mean tidal current speed for the eight-constituent Oregon State University barotropic tidal model. ( A ) The full model domain is shown, and the 500-, 1,000-, and 3,000-m isobaths are indicated. ( B ) As in A , but for a limited region including the southern shelf and Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf front. The Filchner Ice Shelf (F.I.S.) and Filchner Depression (F.D.) are indicated. The 200-m isobath has been added. Dashed lines indicate the approximate ice front. Note that, in our model, water depth under the ice shelves is replaced by "water column thickness."
