cluded in the surface forcing fields of the experiments. In the present study, the
heat loss to ice was generally of the same order of magnitude as the surface
heat flux or even larger, and a surface heat-flux reduction would not have had
significant effects. This would be even more the case if additional iceberg deterioration mechanisms (White et al. 1980) were included in the model, thereby causing higher heat loss of the ocean to the icebergs.
