Record #79806:

Stress-gradient coupling in glacier flow: 1. Longitudinal averaging of the influence of ice thickness and surface slope / W. Barclay Kamb, Keith A. Echelmeyer.

Title: Stress-gradient coupling in glacier flow: 1. Longitudinal averaging of the influence of ice thickness and surface slope / W. Barclay Kamb, Keith A. Echelmeyer.
Author(s): Kamb, W. Barclay.
Echelmeyer, Keith A.
Date: 1986.
In: Journal of Glaciology. (1986.), Vol. 32(111) (1986)
Abstract: Approximate treatment of role of longitudinal stress gradients in glacier flow gives semi-quantitative description of how influences of local thickness and surface slope of ice mass are effectively averaged longitudinally to drive actual flow. Treatment is developed into general description of flow of ice masses, under approximation that longitudinal variations in flow are calculable as perturbations from overall average flow.
