Main publication details
MARC recordA comparison between the theoretical and the measured long profile of the Unteraar glacier / John F. Nye.
| Title: | A comparison between the theoretical and the measured long profile of the Unteraar glacier / John F. Nye. |
| Author(s): | Nye, John F. |
| Date: | 1952. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1952.), Vol. 2(12) (1952) |
| Abstract: | Measurements by seismic sounding reported by other workers are compared with theoretical calculations. By assuming valley to be cylinder of parabolic cross-section, theoretical curve for surface is deduced which depends on one unknown parameter only: average shear stress on bed, If this parameter is taken to be constant and equal to 0.77 bar, calculated and measured profiles agree quite well. |
