Effects of Ambient Current on Melting at the Grounding Line of a Glacier

This archive contains model output, diagnostics, and analysis products from idealized MITgcm simulations of ocean-driven melting near a Thwaites Glacier grounding line. The simulations examine how cavity geometry, rotation, ambient along-slope currents, tides, and subglacial discharge regulate heat convergence, meltwater retention, and spatially localized basal melt. Deposited materials include processed melt, temperature, salinity, velocity, density, shelf-ice flux, and derived Ekman heat-convergence diagnostics, together with scripts used to generate figures and scaling analyses. The dataset supports reproducibility of the associated manuscript and enables comparison of grounding-zone melt dynamics across flat, sloping, wedge-shaped, and deep cavity configurations.
