Traveling waves in a linked-cavity sub-glacial hydraulic system / Neil Frank Humphrey.
Title: | Traveling waves in a linked-cavity sub-glacial hydraulic system / Neil Frank Humphrey. |
Author(s): | Humphrey, Neil Frank. |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1990.), Vol. 71(43) (1990) |
Abstract: | Abstract only. Presents theory for generation and propagation of travelling waves on glaciers. Theoretical results help to explain lack of good correlations between some observations of glacier sliding and basal water pressure, since locally important variables are basal water storage and flux, while water pressure is best viewed as result of ice/water interaction and not as cause. Support for theory is demonstrated using data from surge of Variegated Glacier, AK. |
Notes: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. Vol. 71(43) :1315 (1990). |
