Pressure at the bottom of the ocean (left column) and the temperature difference between the surface and the bottom of the ocean (right column). For large masses, the ocean mass is sufficient to reach pressures at the bottom of the oceans that exceed the transition pressure from liquid water to high pressure ices. This can also be seen in the density profiles in Fig. 11.
