Abstract
There has been a recent focus on Greenlandic fjord oceanography as half of this island's contribution to sea level rise comes from submarine melting and ice discharge at tidewater glaciers. However, in the Canadian High Arctic, the role of fjords is not well understood, in part because of the lack of oceanic measurements. Two main oceanographic processes occur at the termini of tidewater glaciers during summer. The release of water produced by glacial meltwater runoff that finds its way to the bottom of the glacier is known as subglacial discharge, whereas submarine melting is the direct melting of the glacier by the ocean water. Quantifying subglacial discharge and submarine melting is critical to understanding fjord oceanography and cryospheric change in the catchment. This is typically done by comparing a temperatureconductivity-depth (CTD) profile close to the glacier with one that represents ambient oceanographic conditions farther offshore. Here, we develop a technique to depth-correct the ambient profiles to account for buoyancy difference following mixing with meltwater. Our results show that the standard method for comparing to ambient profiles may underestimate the amount of meltwater by up to 30%. We subsequently use eight years of water profiles taken in Milne Fiord, Nunavut (80.6N, 82.5W) to demonstrate the technique and investigate subglacial discharge and submarine melting in this fjord. The results show that both the amount of subglacial discharge and submarine melting meltwater are correlated to the amount of positive degree days (PDD).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
