Notably, the quote «Mölg and Hardy (2004) show that mass loss on the summit
horizontal glacier surfaces is mainly due to sublimation (i.e. turbulent latent heat flux) and is little affected by air temperature through the turbulent sensible heat flux.»
Not exact matches
Although CryoSat - 2 is designed to measure changes in the ice sheet elevation, these can be translated into
horizontal motion at the grounding line using knowledge of the
glacier and sea floor geometry and the Archimedes principle of buoyancy — which relates the thickness of floating ice to the height of its
surface.
The works gorgeously portray
glaciers calving into water,
horizontal cracks in their seemingly solid
surfaces, and an almost surreal range of blues, greens and chalky blacks.
