Temporal variations in the flow of a large Antarctic ice stream controlled by tidally induced changes in the subglacial water system
Observations show that the flow of Rutford Ice Stream (RIS) is strongly modulated by the ocean tides, with the strongest tidal response at the 14.77-day tidal period (<i>M</i><sub>sf</sub>). This is striking because this period is absent in the tidal forcing. A number of mech...
