Freshwater thickness, pycnocline depth, and depth averaged velocities from 17 model scenarios in Admiralty Bay, Antarctica.

The dataset contains model results from the Admiralty Bay hydrodynamic model calculated using the Delft3D Flow. It contains freshwater thickness (FWT), pycnocline depth, and depth-averaged velocities mean values from period 1.1.2022-28.01.2022, from 17 model scenarios.

Scenarios details:

1–14 scenarios with increasing glacial influx (m^3/s per ~1 km of ice/water boundary) spread homogenously across glacial fronts with 0 m/s initial velocity: 1 - 0; 2 - 0.15 3 - 0.3; 4 - 0.6; 5 - 0.9; 6 -1.7; 7 - 3.0; 8 - 4.5; 9 - 6.0 (also described as test run H0); 10 - 8.0; 11 -11.0; 12 - 14.0; 13 - 28.0 ; 14 - 60.0;

15 - H2 test run with glacial water discharged from all glaciers, homogenously through the entirety of glacial front, with an initial velocity of 2 m/s

16 - S0 test run with glacial water discharged from all glaciers subglacially, with zero initial velocity

17 - S2 test run with glacial water discharged from all glaciers subglacially, with an initial velocity of 2 m/s
