Figure 1: Ocean heat transport pathways to Totten Glacier revealed so far by this research group. Background color is the mean dynamic ocean topography for the period 2011-2022. A deep ocean basin is extending north of the 1000 m depth contour line. In-situ observations have confirmed the existence of stationary oceanic eddy trains (eddies ① to ④) in the basin area and the existence of clockwise circulation on the continental shelf.
