Glacimarine sedimentation processes at Kronebreen and Kongsvegen, Svalbard
Tidewater glaciers deposit sediment at their terminus, thereby reducing the relative water depth. Reduced water depth can lead to increased glacier stability through decreased rates of iceberg calving, glacier thinning and submarine melting. Here we investigate sedimentation processes at the termini of Kronebreen and Kongsvegen, Svalbard. We mapped the fjord floor bathymetry in August 2009 and ...
متن کاملEstimating the long-term calving flux of Kronebreen, Svalbard, from geodetic elevation changes and mass-balance modelling
This study independently quantifies geodetic elevation change and models surface mass balance to solve the continuity equation. The approach is tested on two dynamically different glaciers, Kongsvegen and Kronebreen in northwest Svalbard, through two time epochs, 1966–1990/95 (I) and 1990/95–2007 (II). On Kongsvegen, a dynamically inactive glacier, the residual term represents an error associat...
متن کاملNLCs at Svalbard by lidar
In summer 2001 a potassium lidar was installed near Longyearbyen (78 • N) on the north polar island of Spitsbergen which is part of the archipelago Svalbard. At the same place a series of meteorological rockets (" falling spheres " , FS) were launched which gave temperatures from the lower thermosphere to the stratosphere. The potassium 5 lidar is capable of detecting noctilucent clouds (NLCs) ...
متن کاملCoupled Aggregation and Sedimentation Processes: Three Dimensional Off-Lattice Simulations
The coupled aggregation and sedimentation process were studied by means of three dimension computer simulations. For this purpose, a large prism with no periodic boundary conditions for the sedimentation direction was considered. Furthermore, three equally sized and mutually excluded regions were defined inside the prism, a top, a middle and a bottom region. This allows to study the time evolut...
متن کاملPhenomenological foundation and mathematical theory of sedimentation–consolidation processes
The phenomenological theory of sedimentation describes a flocculated suspension as a mixture of the solid and the fluid as two superimposed continuous media. Starting from the mass and linear momentum balances for each component, this theory yields, through constitutive assumptions and an order-of-magnitude analysis, three coupled partial differential equations describing the sedimentation–cons...
