Ice-shelf tidal flexure and subglacial pressure variations
We develop a model of an ice shelf-ice stream system as a viscoelastic beam partially supported by an elastic foundation. When bedrock near the grounding line acts as a fulcrum, leverage from the ice shelf dropping at low tide can cause significant ð 1 cmÞ uplift in the first few kilometers of grounded ice. This uplift and the corresponding depression at high tide lead to basal pressure variati...
متن کاملIce Shelf Water plume flow beneath FilchnerRonne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
[1] A two-dimensional plume model is used to study the interaction between FilchnerRonne Ice Shelf, Antarctica and its underlying ocean cavity. Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plumes are initiated by the freshwater released from a melting ice shelf and, if they rise, may become supercooled and deposit marine ice due to the pressure increase in the in situ freezing temperature. The aim of this modeling st...
متن کاملNormal modes of a coupled ice-shelf/sub-ice-shelf cavity system
Ice shelves and ice tongues are dynamically coupled to their cavities. Here we compute normal modes (eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions) of this coupled system using a thin-plate approximation for the ice shelf and potential water flow in the ice-shelf cavity. Our results show that normal modes depend not only on the ice-shelf parameters (length, thickness, Young’s modulus, etc.) but also on t...
متن کاملA smoothed-particle hydrodynamics model for ice-sheet and ice-shelf dynamics
Mathematical modeling of ice sheets is complicated by the nonlinearity of the governing equations and boundary conditions. Standard grid-based methods require complex front-tracking techniques and have a limited capability to handle large material deformations and abrupt changes in bottom topography. Consequently, numerical methods are usually restricted to shallow ice-sheet and ice-shelf appro...
