“…Previous simulations with low spatial resolution have provided insights into the oceanic processes within the bay (Galton-Fenzi et al, 2012) and the sub-ice-shelf cavity (Galton-Fenzi et al, 2012; M. J. M. Williams et al, 2001Williams et al, , 2002, but they were mostly limited by the spatial resolution (M. J. M. Williams et al, 2001Williams et al, , 2002 and the representation of the alongshore Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) (Galton-Fenzi et al, 2012). Indeed, the dynamic effects of topography on the ASC that can result in onshore flows have already been clarified in previous studies (Klinck & Dinniman, 2010;Liu et al, 2017;St-Laurent et al, 2013;Thompson et al, 2014). Hence, without the high-accuracy topography and the finer resolution, mCDW intrusion may not be fully captured in previous modeling studies.…”
