• As the weight of ice builds up, the ice sheet begins to move towards the oceans.
• When the ocean water has a temperature close to 0°C, these ice shelves can persist for a long time.
• Ice shelves in West Antarctica are particularly prone to melting from the ocean, as many are close to water masses above 0°C.
• Our new research explores how heat brought by El Niño can warm the ocean around West Antarctica and increase melting of the ice shelves from below.

How can El Niño-Southern Oscillation affect Antarctica?

• Giant convective thunderstorms in the Pacific’s equatorial regions move east during El Niño and intensify in the West during La Niña.
• Within two months, these atmospheric waves reach the Antarctic continent, where their energy can affect the coastal atmosphere and ocean circulation.
• During El Niño, the energy from these waves weakens the easterly winds off West Antarctica (and vice versa for La Niña).
• Using satellite data, researchers recently found that West Antarctic ice shelves actually gain height but lose mass during El Niño.

Finding a needle in the ice stack

• We take a high-resolution global ocean circulation model and added El Niño and La Niña events to the baseline simulation.
• Normally, most of the warm water reservoir is located off the continental shelf rather than on the continental shelf.

• But that’s enough to begin melting ice shelves, which are at or below freezing point.
• Winds along the coast strengthen, pushing more cold surface water onto the continental shelf and preventing warm water from flowing under the ice shelves.

What does this mean for the near future?

• If this trend continues, as climate projections suggest, we can expect warming around West Antarctica to get even stronger during El Niño events, accelerating ice shelf melting and speeding up sea level rise.
• The only way to stop the worst from happening is to get to net zero carbon emissions as quickly as humanly possible.
