Ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 meters) on its own, according to a recent study. Zombie or doomed ice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers...
Finally, surface melt was estimated to account for approximately 62% of the net radiative flux to the sea ice cover during the melt season. 展开 关键词: sea ice landfast ice melt ponds thermodynamic evolution DOI: 10.1002/2013JC009617 被引量: 38 ...
The ice budget of the Greenland Sea 来自 ResearchGate 喜欢 0 阅读量: 56 作者: RE Moritz 摘要: The ice budget of a fixed region of the ocean's surface expresses the change in regional storage, over a given time interval, as a sum of contributions from advection, thermodynamic growth, and...
Coastlines are the boundaries where land meets the ocean or sea. 海岸线是陆地与海洋交汇的边界。 Examples: Beaches, cliffs, estuaries. 例子:海滩、悬崖、河口。 Glaciers 冰川 Glaciers are large, slow-moving masses of ice found in polar regions ...
The zombie ice on the Greenland ice sheet no longer receives snow and “has been consigned to the ocean,” according to a glaciologist involved in the study.
Under the Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition program in 2006, the annual thermal mass balance of landfast ice in the vicinity of Zhongshan Station, Prydz Bay, east Antarctica, was investigated. Sea ice formed from mid-February onward, and maximum ice thickness occurred in late November...
Three field experiments in widely separated parts of the Arctic were carried out during 1979 to complete a study of the interaction between ocean waves and sea ice in the marginal ice zone. The aim of the project is to determine the distribution of floe sizes that is generated by a given ...
The glaciers of North Greenland are hosting enough ice to raise sea level by 2.1 m, and have long considered to be stable. This part of Greenland is buttressed by the last remaining ice shelves of the ice sheet. Here, we show that since 1978, ice shelves in North Greenland have ...
The total ice-plateletvolume underlying Atka Bay fast ice was equivalent to more than one-fifth of the annual basal meltvolume under the Ekstrm Ice Shelf. 展开 关键词: basal melt, ice/ocean interactions sea ice sea-ice growth and decay sea-ice/ice-shelf interactions ...
A recently-discovered ice core taken from beneath Greenland’s ice sheet decades ago reveals that much of the country was ice-free around 400,000 years ago – an alarming finding that could have disastrous implications for sea level rise.
