Short summary
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting and adding fresh water into the Southern Ocean, affecting the global climate system. Here, we conduct model experiments in which water is input into the Southern Ocean. We find a significant response of the climate system to this meltwater; however, the manner in which the Antarctic Ice Sheet loses mass does not strongly control this response. The implications are that Antarctic meltwater should be included in future climate model projections.
