MARC recordNumerical modelling of the temperature distribution in tabular icebergs / Sveinung Løset.
| Title: | Numerical modelling of the temperature distribution in tabular icebergs / Sveinung Løset. |
| Author(s): | Løset, Sveinung. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Cold Regions Science and Technology. (1993.), Vol. 21(2) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Develops numerical model which simulates temperature distribution and ablation of icebergs; full description of two-dimensional version is given. Various terms which affect thermal energy balance and ablation are discussed, and melting, refreezing and runoff are considered. Temperature distributions of model are compared to manned and unmanned temperature measurements on icebergs in Barents Sea. Results show steep temperature gradients and extremely steep stable core temperatures. In this simulation, only outer 3 to 4 m of decaying surface layer is significantly affected by transient boundary conditions. Corresponding affected surface layer below waterline is 2 m. |
