And scientists now know that the underwater topography — the hills, slopes and crevices at the bottom of the ocean, where the ice meets the sea — is a critical influence on just how much ice actually touches the water.
Also, you can start by exploring an illustrated view of the array of factors — from sea - bottom topography to warm water — that may be in play in the changing Arctic Ocean provided by James Morison of the University of Washington.
Local topography, bay and river orientation, depth of the sea bottom, astronomical tides, as well as other physical features, are taken into account in a predefined grid referred to as a SLOSH basin.
