Optimal measurement of ice-sheet deformation from surface-marker arrays
Surface strain rate is best observed by fitting a strain-rate ellipsoid to the measured movement of a stake network,or other collection of surface features, using a least-squares procedure. Error of the resulting fit varies as (LAt/7T)~ , where L is the stake separation, At is the time period between initial and final stake survey, and n is the number of stakes in the network. This relation sug...
متن کاملICESat measurement of Greenland ice sheet surface slope and roughness
The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) in its 8 day repeat orbit mode provided data not only on the along-track surface slope, but also on the cross-track surface slope from adjacent repeat ground tracks. During the first 36 days of operation, four to five such repeat orbits occurred within 1 km in the cross-track direction. This provided an opportunity to use ICESat data to measu...
متن کاملMicrobial abundance in surface ice on the Greenland Ice Sheet
Measuring microbial abundance in glacier ice and identifying its controls is essential for a better understanding and quantification of biogeochemical processes in glacial ecosystems. However, cell enumeration of glacier ice samples is challenging due to typically low cell numbers and the presence of interfering mineral particles. We quantified for the first time the abundance of microbial cell...

متن کاملAnalysis of deformation-induced surface morphologies in steel sheet
The surfaces of strained mild steel sheet specimens were examined with scanning laser confocal microscopy. Rigorous assessments were employed to establish the form of the roughness data. The small deviations from the ideal conditions observed in these assessments indicated that the stochastic process responsible for surface roughening does not conform to stationary, Gaussian, Markov statistics....
