Antarctic iceberg distribution and dissolution / T.C. Hamley, William F. Budd.
Title: | Antarctic iceberg distribution and dissolution / T.C. Hamley, William F. Budd. |
Author(s): | Hamley, T. C. Budd, William F. |
Date: | 1986. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1986.), Vol. 32(111) (1986) |
Abstract: | Based on shipboard observations over period of six years in Southern Ocean between 60 and 140°E. "Median life" (before breaking) of icebergs less than 1000 m long estimated to be 0.2 a, and mean melt rate estimated to be 0.12 m d⁻¹. Relative contributions of melt, calving, and breakage, plus enhancement effect of roll-over, are examined in estimating natural dissolution rate. Dominant mechanism for large icebergs is breakage; melt and calving explain disappearance of small icebergs only. |
