  • An Analytical Model of Iceberg Drift
    JULY 2017 W A G N E R E T A L . 1605 An Analytical Model of Iceberg Drift TILL J. W. WAGNER,REBECCA W. DELL, AND IAN EISENMAN University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California (Manuscript received 2 December 2016, in final form 6 April 2017) ABSTRACT The fate of icebergs in the polar oceans plays an important role in Earth’s climate system, yet a detailed understanding of iceberg dynamics has remained elusive. Here, the central physical processes that determine iceberg motion are investigated. This is done through the development and analysis of an idealized model of iceberg drift. The model is forced with high-resolution surface velocity and temperature data from an obser- vational state estimate. It retains much of the most salient physics, while remaining sufficiently simple to allow insight into the details of how icebergs drift. An analytical solution of the model is derived, which highlights how iceberg drift patterns depend on iceberg size, ocean current velocity, and wind velocity. A long-standing rule of thumb for Arctic icebergs estimates their drift velocity to be 2% of the wind velocity relative to the ocean current. Here, this relationship is derived from first principles, and it is shown that the relationship holds in the limit of small icebergs or strong winds, which applies for typical Arctic icebergs. For the opposite limit of large icebergs (length . 12 km) or weak winds, which applies for typical Antarctic tabular icebergs, it is shown that this relationship is not applicable and icebergs move with the ocean current, unaffected by the wind.

  • PRESS RELEASE Icebergs A-70 and A-71 Calve from Larsen-D Ice Shelf in the Weddell
    U.S. National Ice Center NOAA Satellite Operations Facility 4231 Suitland Road Suitland, MD 20746 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: LT Falon Essary, NOAA [email protected] 3​ 01-817-3934 Icebergs A-70 and A-71 Calve from Larsen-D Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea 08JAN2021, Suitland, MD — The Larsen-D Ice Shelf calved several icebergs in a calving event, two of which are large enough to be named. The breakup occurred in early November 2020, but until now it had been impossible to confirm whether these were icebergs large enough to be named or extremely old sea ice that had fasted to the ice shelf. Recent imagery showing surface topography typical of icebergs has allowed us to confirm these are indeed icebergs. The new iceberg A-70 is located at 72° 21' South, 59° 39' West and measures 8 nautical miles on its longest axis and 5 nautical miles on its widest axis. The new iceberg A-71 is located at 72° 31' South, 59° 31' West and measures 8 nautical miles on its longest axis and 3 nautical miles on its widest axis. A-70 and A-71 were first spotted by USNIC Ice Analyst Michael Lowe and confirmed by USNIC Ice Analyst Chris Readinger using the Sentinel-1A image shown below. Iceberg names are derived from the Antarctic quadrant in which they were originally sighted. The quadrants are divided counter-clockwise in the following manner: A = 0-90W (Bellingshausen/Weddell Sea) C = 180-90E (Western Ross Sea/Wilkesland) B = 90W-180 (Amundsen/Eastern Ross Sea) D = 90E-0 (Amery/Eastern Weddell Sea) When first sighted, an iceberg’s point of origin is documented by USNIC.

Moctezuma-Flores (mmoctezuma@fi-b.unam.mx) Abstract. A methodology for examining a temporal sequence of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images as applied to the detection of the A-68 iceberg and its drifting trajectory, is presented. Using an improved image processing scheme, the analysis covers a period of eighteen months and makes use of a set of Sentinel-1 images. A-68 iceberg calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in July 2017 and is one of the largest icebergs observed by remote sensing on record. After the calving, there was only a modest 5 decrease in the area (about 1%) in the first six months. It has been drifting along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and it is expected to continue its path for more than a decade. It is important to track the huge A-68 iceberg to retrieve information on the physics of iceberg dynamics and for maritime security reasons. Two relevant problems are addressed by the image processing scheme presented here: (a) How to achieve quasi-automatic analysis using a fuzzy logic approach to image contrast enhancement, and (b) Adoption of ferromagnetic concepts to define a stochastic segmentation.

  • Quantifying Iceberg Calving Fluxes with Underwater Noise

Quantifying iceberg calving fluxes with underwater noise 5 Oskar Glowacki1,2 and Grant B. Deane1 1Marine Physical Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, USA 2Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland Correspondence to: Oskar Glowacki ([email protected]) 10 Abstract. Accurate estimates of calving fluxes are essential to understand small-scale glacier dynamics and quantify the contribution of marine-terminating glaciers to both eustatic sea level rise and the freshwater budget of polar regions. Here we investigate the application of ambient noise oceanography to measure calving flux using the underwater sounds of iceberg- water impact. A combination of time-lapse photography and passive acoustics is used to determine the relationship between the mass and impact noise of 169 icebergs generated by subaerial calving events from Hans Glacier, Svalbard. The analysis 15 includes three major factors affecting the observed noise: 1. fluctuation of the thermohaline structure, 2. variability of the ocean depth along the waveguide, and 3. reflection of impact noise from the glacier terminus. A correlation of 0.76 is found between the (log-transformed) kinetic energy of the falling iceberg and the corresponding acoustic energy. An error-in- variables linear regression is applied to estimate the coefficients of this relationship. Energy conversion coefficients for non- transformed variables are 8 × 10−7 and 0.92, respectively for the multiplication factor and exponent of the power law. As 20 we demonstrate, this simple model can be used to measure solid ice discharge from Hans Glacier.

  • Iceberg Calving Dynamics of Jakobshavn Isbrę, Greenland
    ICEBERG CALVING DYNAMICS OF JAKOBSHAVN ISBRÆ, GREENLAND By Jason Michael Amundson RECOMMENDED: Advisory Committee Chair Chair, Department of Geology and Geophysics APPROVED: Dean, College of Natural Science and Mathematics Dean of the Graduate School Date ICEBERG CALVING DYNAMICS OF JAKOBSHAVN ISBRÆ, GREENLAND A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jason Michael Amundson, B.S., M.S. Fairbanks, Alaska May 2010 iii Abstract Jakobshavn Isbræ, a fast-flowing outlet glacier in West Greenland, began a rapid retreat in the late 1990’s. The glacier has since retreated over 15 km, thinned by tens of meters, and doubled its discharge into the ocean. The glacier’s retreat and associated dynamic adjustment are driven by poorly-understood processes occurring at the glacier-ocean in- terface. These processes were investigated by synthesizing a suite of field data collected in 2007–2008, including timelapse imagery, seismic and audio recordings, iceberg and glacier motion surveys, and ocean wave measurements, with simple theoretical considerations. Observations indicate that the glacier’s mass loss from calving occurs primarily in sum- mer and is dominated by the semi-weekly calving of full-glacier-thickness icebergs, which can only occur when the terminus is at or near flotation. The calving icebergs produce long-lasting and far-reaching ocean waves and seismic signals, including “glacial earth- quakes”. Due to changes in the glacier stress field associated with calving, the lower glacier instantaneously accelerates by ∼3% but does not episodically slip, thus contradicting the originally proposed glacial earthquake mechanism.

A synthesis of atmospheric heat transfer, geometrical considerations, and thin-film fluid dynamics leads to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation for the shape of a uniformly advancing icicle, the solution to which defines a parameter-free shape which compares very favorably with that of natural icicles. Away from the tip, the solution has a power-law form identical to that recently found for the growth of stalactites by precipitation of calcium carbonate. This analysis thereby explains why stalactites and icicles are so similar in form despite the vastly different physics and chemistry of their formation. In addition, a curious link is noted between the shape so calculated and that found through consideration of only the thin coating water layer. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. ͓DOI: 10.1063/1.2335152͔ The formation of patterns in snow and ice has been a boundary layer in the surrounding air through which latent source of fascination since antiquity.
