An ice shelf is a floating extension of an ice sheet that is sandwiched between atmosphere and ocean. Basal melting of ice shelves is one of the main components of the fresh water runoff around Antarctica. Furthermore, this fresh water source is spread between 200m and 1000m depth. The temperature of this water is also much colder than the winter surface water due to the pressure effect on the freezing point temperature (from -1.8°C in surface up to -2.5°C in depth). Consequently, ice shelves lead to large changes in TS properties on the shelf, in sea ice thickness and concentration, in Antarctic bottom water formation, in horizontal circulation as well as in meridional overturning circulation (Hellmer et al., 2004). Modelling ice shelf basal melting is also a required step to build an earth system model including ocean/ice sheet coupling.

The module will be developed outside of the current tradmp module to avoid conflicts with the hard coded resolution dependent regional variations to the damping that are currently implemented in this module. Regional variations to the damping will be permitted by specifying values of the mask between zero and one where zero indicates no damping at that grid point and non-zero values indicate damping with a relaxation coefficient value obtained by multiplying the mask value with a namelist specified max relaxation coefficient.
