Nonilex[The parentheses are my edits / additions. When reviewing the study & the quotes by Dr. Brearley, the statement about <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/melting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melting</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/icebergs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#icebergs</a> not contributing to <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SeaLevelRise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeaLevelRise</a> appears to be specific only to icebergs that melt in a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TaylorColumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TaylorColumn</a>. The author of the article does not make that clear, which could lead to misunderstanding. The study was specific. Therefore <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/A23a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#A23a</a>’s melt will only NOT contribute to rising sea levels IF it STAYS within the vortex for the duration of its <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/melt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melt</a>.]<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a>

Standard flow diverges around the mount & creates a stagnant cylinder of fluids above it, slowly rotating the water counterclockwise.
