Record #86025:

Velocity of ice streams B and C, Antarctica / Ian M. Whillans, J. Bolzan, S. Shabtaie.

Title: Velocity of ice streams B and C, Antarctica / Ian M. Whillans, J. Bolzan, S. Shabtaie.
Author(s): Whillans, Ian M.
Bolzan, J.
Shabtaie, S.
Date: 1987.
In: Journal of Geophysical Research. (1987.), Vol. 92(B9) (1987)
Abstract: Paper presented at Chapman Conference on Fast Glacier Flow: Ice Streams, Surging, and Tidewater Glaciers, held at Whistler Village, BC, Canada, 4-8 May 1986. Velocities measured on and near ice streams B and C by repeated tracking of TRANSIT satellites. Results confirm difference in mode of flow between fast on B and slow on innerstream ice ridges. C is nearly stagnant, which, with other evidence of formerly fast flow, confirms recent slowing and thickening. Transition from inland ice to ice stream occurs irregularly in space and time, with rafts of inland ice being slowly incorporated into stream.
