Thermal Response of a Small Ice Cap to Climatic Forcing
Abstract Two-dimensional finite-element calculations of velocity and temperature fields have been applied to the energy balance of a cross-section of Barnes Ice Cap, Baffin Island, Canada. The flow plane currently is cooling near the ice divide and warming near the margin. Long-term simulations show...
