Main publication details
MARC recordSome numerical experiments on firn ventilation with heat transfer / M.R. Albert.
| Title: | Some numerical experiments on firn ventilation with heat transfer / M.R. Albert. |
| Author(s): | Albert, M. R. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 18 (1993) |
| Abstract: | Preliminary estimates of thermal signature of ventilation in polar firn were obtained from two-dimensional numerical calculations. Simulations show that spatially varying surface pressure can induce airflow velocities of 10⁻⁵ m s⁻¹ at 1.5 m depth in uniform firn and higher velocities closer to surface. |
| Notes: | Annals of Glaciology. Vol. 18 :161-165 (1993). |
| Keywords: | 551.578.46 -- Snow cover and snow patches. 551.578.463 -- Snow cover, firnification. 536.2 -- Heat, transmission. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. |
