Sea ice variation in Lützow-Holmbukta, Antarctica, during the last fifty years / Shuki Ushio, Hiroyuki Wakabayashi, Fumihiko Nishio.
Title: | Sea ice variation in Lützow-Holmbukta, Antarctica, during the last fifty years / Shuki Ushio, Hiroyuki Wakabayashi, Fumihiko Nishio. |
Author(s): | Ushio, Shuki. Wakabayashi, Hiroyuki. Nishio, Fumihiko. |
Date: | 2006. |
Language: | Japanese. |
In: | Seppyo : Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice. (2006.), Vol. 68(4) (2006) |
Abstract: | Uses satellite imagery from Lützow-Holm Bay to examine frequent ice-breakup events since 1980s. Reports unstable conditions lasted several years, with breakups often observed during periods of less snow. Concludes from appearance of long glacier tongue flowing into fast-ice field that landfast ice was extremely stable during 1950s-1970s. Since expansion and contraction of floating ice tongue probably depends on condition of surrounding fast-ice, unstable sea-ice conditions over last two decades have shortened ice tongue. Decreased sea ice snow cover and warm summer-autumn periods led to weakening of landfast ice through melt season, with broken floes transported offshore by prevailing winds. |
