Modelling and Simulation of Ice/Snow Melting
نویسندگان
چکیده
A moving boundary problem, the so-called Stefan Problem, for the melting of ice is set up, then solved numerically using Matlab. Thereby curves for the position of the boundary between ice and water are produced. From these curves the melting time for a given layer thickness of ice/snow can be found. Furthermore, such curves are also presented when salt is added to the ice. It is seen that the melting time decreases substantially when salt is added.

Distributed mapping of snow and glaciers for improved runo modelling
Runo in glacierized alpine basins results from both seasonal snow cover and glacier melt. In this paper we present a case study for an improved runo modelling of the basin Massa-Blatten, 196 km, 1447±4191 m a.s.l. Using high resolution satellite sensors, it is possible to separately map snow cover and glacier areas. From the satellite data we derive depletion curves of snow covered areas in s...

متن کاملشبیه سازی سطح پوشش برف و رواناب ناشی از ذوب آن در حوزه آبخیز هرو - دهنو در استان لرستان
Given the importance of snow, it seems necessary to predict its resultant runoff for optimized usage. In addition, due to snowbound regions cloudiness in winter season, the notice of snow cover area (SCA) using satellite images is difficult. Hence, to help better water resources managing in mountainous areas using supplementary methods for simulating the SCA is necessary. As a case study, Horo-...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal variability in surface energy balance across tundra, snow and ice in Greenland
The surface energy balance (SEB) is essential for understanding the coupled cryosphere-atmosphere system in the Arctic. In this study, we investigate the spatiotemporal variability in SEB across tundra, snow and ice. During the snow-free period, the main energy sink for ice sites is surface melt. For tundra, energy is used for sensible and latent heat flux and soil heat flux leading to permafro...
متن کاملVariations of algal communities cause darkening of a Greenland glacier.
We have assessed the microbial ecology on the surface of Mittivakkat glacier in SE-Greenland during the exceptional high melting season in July 2012 when the so far most extreme melting rate for the Greenland Ice Sheet has been recorded. By employing a complementary and multi-disciplinary field sampling and analytical approach, we quantified the dramatic changes in the different microbial surfa...
