Calving of large tabular icebergs from ice shelf rift systems
[1] We used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar to study the detachment process that allowed two large icebergs to calve from the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Time series of rift geometries indicate that rift widths increased steadily, whereas rift lengths increased episodically through several discrete rift-tip propagation events. We also conducted modeling experiments constrained by the o...
متن کاملIce-Type Characterization in a Marginal Ice Zone Using RADARSAT and Ice-Profiling Sonar: Tools for Structural Design and Navigation Planning in Ice Infested Waters
Advanced versions of moored sub-surface ULS (upward-looking sonar) instrumentation, originally developed (Melling et al., 1995) to provide high resolution mappings of ice draft in mobile pack ice have been a prominent component of recent hydrocarbon exploration and production activities in ice covered waters. In each case, data gathered by adjacent iceand acoustic Doppler current-profilers have...
متن کاملProduction of Ice Nucleation Deficient (Ice-) Mutants of the Epiphytic Strains of Erwinia herbicola
To mutate the Ice Nucleation Active (INA) gene in Erwinia herbicola strains, Tn-5 transposon carried by Psup2021 plasmid was used. This plasmid was transferred to the bacterial cells by electroporation. Electrotransformation was carried out for 2.5 ms at 1800 v and 1 mm distance between the electrodes. Polymerase chain reaction was used for determination of presence or loss of INA gene, using a...
متن کاملIdentifying “Skylites” for AUV Operations under Pack Ice: Insights from Ice-draft Profiling by Moored Sonar
The past decade has seen a remarkable evolution of sea-floor-based ice-draft profiling capabilities. Efforts have progressed from an original Beaufort Sea deployment of a single upward-looking acoustic echo sounder to the almost routine present-day positionings of special-purpose profiler units which operate in conjunction with adjacent current profiling and ice drift measurement instruments. T...
متن کاملDetecting Icebergs in Sea Ice Using Dual Polarized Satellite Radar Imagery
Two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets with validated icebergs in sea ice were analyzed. A qualitative assessment of the data using false colour visualization methods for dual polarization SAR was conducted indicating that icebergs had an improved visually discernable signature from the background over single polarization SAR.A quantitative analysis was completed to exploit these observati...
