Short summary
Ocean models are used to understand how the ocean interacts with the Antarctic Ice Sheet, but they are too coarse in resolution to capture the small-scale ocean processes driving melting and require a parameterisation to predict melt. Previous parameterisations ignore key processes occurring in some regions of Antarctica. We develop a parameterisation with the feedback of stratification on melting and test it in idealised and regional ocean models, finding changes to melt rate and circulation.
