Force Budget: Ii. Application to Two-dimensional Flow along Byrd Station Strain Network, Antarctica

Resistive stresses and velocities at depth are calculated along the Byrd Station Strain Network, Antarctica, using field data. There are found to be large longitudinal variations in basal drag and this result is little affected by errors in the input data or by uncertainties in the constitutive relation for ice. Basal drag varies by a factor of about 2 along the strain network, and is usually e...

The Optimal Byrd Tariff in Vertical Markets

This paper develops the theory of the optimal tariff under the Byrd Amendment when producers are also processors. The optimal tariff in this case is equal to the optimal processor tariff (when the processor is not also a producer) and is smaller than the optimal producer tariff (when the producer is not also a processor). In a vertical market structure, the welfare of a producer/processor (P/P)...

Flow dynamics of Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica

Force-balance calculations on Byrd Glacier, East Antarctica, reveal large spatial variations in the along-flow component of driving stress with corresponding sticky spots that are stationary over time. On the large scale, flow resistance is partitioned between basal (�80%) and lateral (�20%) drag. Ice flow is due mostly to basal sliding and concentrated vertical shear in the basal ice layers, i...
