Iceberg Melting

Iceberg Melting is a process-level phenomenon within ice-ocean interactions that denotes the transition of solid ice from icebergs into liquid water due to thermodynamic exchange with surrounding seawater, distinguished by its dependence on oceanic heat flux, turbulence, and salinity gradients at the ice-water interface.
