The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

JRA-55 based surface dataset for driving ocean–sea-ice models (JRA55-do) (2018, positive): “• The extremely low air temperature around Antarctica was cut-off by introducing a floor function (see Section 3.3.4 for details).”
A global, high-resolution data set of ice sheet topography, cavity geometry, and ocean bathymetry (2016, background): “…from the open-ocean continental shelf across the ice front towards the grounding line The high basal melt rates suggested for Getz Ice Shelf (e.g Depoorter et al., 2013) make the existence of such transport pathways for warm water seem plausible A strict evaluation, however, is made very…”
Antarctic sub-shelf melt rates via PICO (2017, background): “Surrounding most of Antarctica’s coastlines, the ice shelves themselves lose mass by ocean-induced melting from below or calving of icebergs (Depoorter et al., 2013; Liu et al., 2015).”
Presentation and Evaluation of the IPSL‐CM6A‐LR Climate Model (2020, background): “The ice shelf melting is geographically and vertically distributed along Antarctica so as to mimic the observed distribution from Depoorter et al. (2013) as described in Mathiot et al. (2017).”
