Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is argued that deformation of the ice canopy has been neglected in past computations and considerations of the mass budget of pack ice in the Arctic Ocean. Evidence is presented to indicate that in the Canadian Basin alone, 13 to 18 percent of the ice area is covered by pressure ice considerably thicker than the 6 to 14 feet usually considered the average thickness of polar ice. A geometrical model based on empirical observations of under-ice, surface, and subsurface features is offered to permit computations of the volume of sea ice contributed by pressure ice. This model suggests that 1:3.3 is a realistic ratio between the above-water and underwater portions of an ice pressure ridge. Seasonal and spatial data from two years of aerial surveys on the frequency and height of ridges are presented, showing maximal values in winter near the North American coastlines. Similar data are presented on ice concentrations, stage of ice development, and the distribution of open and refrozen water throughout the Arctic Basin. Extensive submarine echo sounding data on the frequency of ice of various thicknesses corroborate the existence of larger amounts of open water - 15 percent more in summer - than previously estimated over large portions of the Arctic Basin.

Download or read book Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing written by Motoyoshi Ikeda and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-09-18 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing describes how remotely sensed data fields can be applied to help solve problems in ocean-related studies. This timely reference, written by and for oceanographers, emphasizes the application of data to particular physical, chemical, and biological processes related to the ocean and the ocean-atmosphere system. The organization of the book reflects this emphasis, with chapters arranged by process rather than by sensor characteristics. Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing contains comprehensive information on the application of such relevant data sets as sea surface temperature and topography, ocean circulation, sea level variability, wind speed and stress, wave height, solar radiation flux at ocean surfaces, and sea-ice characteristics and ice motion. It also discusses the reliability of remotely sensed data and provides information about the applicability of the various data sets to particular process studies. Its completeness and relevance makes Oceanographic Applications of Remote Sensing an important reference for modern studies of ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere processes. Its unique coverage of the physics that govern satellite processes and their applications to oceanography ensures that it will remain an important reference as new satellites are introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and it drifts against the wind as often as with it." Kongespeilet - 1250 A.D. ("The Mirror of Kings") Modern societies require increasing amounts influence on the water mass and on the resulting of scientific information about the environment total environment of the region; therefore, cer tain of its characteristics will necessarily be in whieh they live and work. For the seas this information must describe the air above the sea, included.
