Advancing the knowledge on the effects of sea
ice deformations on upper ocean stratification and ecosystem will have profound implications on our ability to forecast ongoing changes in Arctic Ocean.
Not exact matches
Ice deformation The earlier measurements were limited by their reliance
on ships smashing their way into the region and deploying teams to drill a hole down which a tape measure can be inserted.
«We found that the Antarctic
ice sheet had an uneven effect
on the global sea level because its growth resulted in a complex interplay between gravitational and rotational effects and the
deformations to Earth's crust caused by
ice advance and retreat,» he says.
-- Two complete environments (Alaska, New Cairo) and a WIP one (Abruzzo)-- Complete new camera system with position and intention prediction — New Engine SplineComponent with full
deformation control and normalisation — New SSS Shader for the
ice in Alaska — Jump System and Fly Mode — New track elements, nice and shiny — Polishing
on the tracks to enhance the sense of speed and progression — New eyecandy effects (camera, light shaft, fov adaptation, etc...)
Secondary objectives: Four secondary objectives have been defined: - To assess the effect of a more accurate simulation of sea
ice drift and
deformation on the Arctic sea
ice mass balance and distribution properties of sea
ice age.
The neXtSIM model is currently being developed at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, and is unique among sea
ice models owing to its rheological framework that is based
on solid mechanics and allowing to reproduce the multifractal scaling invariance of sea
ice deformation with an unprecedented realism.
We use realistic estimates of mass redistribution from
ice mass loss and land water storage to quantify the resulting ocean bottom
deformation and its effect
on global and regional ocean volume change estimates.
b) volumetric effects — change in the volume of water contained in the oceans and the geometry and areal extent of the ocean basins c) gravitational effects — change in the gravitational attraction of the earth (induced by
deformation), by the change in distribution of
ice and by the change in self - attraction of the water d) rotational effects — change in the moment of inertia caused by a change in the distribution of mass within the earth and
on its surface.
