MARC recordNumerical models of ice-shelf flow: ideal/real / Manfred A. Lange, Douglas R. MacAyeal.
| Title: | Numerical models of ice-shelf flow: ideal/real / Manfred A. Lange, Douglas R. MacAyeal. |
| Author(s): | Lange, Manfred A. MacAyeal, Douglas R. |
| Date: | 1989. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1989.), Vol. 12 (1989) |
| Abstract: | Presents model calculations that describe flow of ice shelves of different configurations. Considers "ideal" models with well-defined boundary conditions and simple geometry in order to explore response of ice shelf to transient variations in ice-stream input. Increasing complexity of model allows better understanding of ice-shelf behaviour without complications arising from consideration of natural ice shelves. Dissipation of ice-thickness variations caused by ice-stream transience is strongly influenced by ice rheology and presence of ice rise alters velocity field of adjacent ice, due to changes in ice-stream input. With models of "real" ice shelves, ability of numerical models to test working hypotheses on ice-shelf thickness distributions is demonstrated. Ice velocities obtained with diagnostic models of Filchner-Ronne ice shelf that use different ice-thickness distributions are compared with measured ice velocities; this demonstrates that model employing regions of thin ice in central area yields velocities significantly different from field data. Concludes that zones of thin ice on ice shelf are unlikely. |
