Apparent Short-Term Glacier Velocity Variations

Abstract In connection with a glacier-hydrological project at a sub-polar glacier in West Greenland, short-term glacier velocity variations were measured. Both the horizontal and the vertical velocity components showed distinct diurnal variations. Close examination indicates that these variations ar...
