Basal Sliding Relations Deduced from Ice-Sheet Data
Abstract The sliding law is defined as a basal boundary condition for the large-scale bulk ice flow, relating the tangential traction τ b , overburden pressure p b , and tangential velocity u b on a smoothed-out mean bed contour. This effective bed is a lower boundary viewed on the scale of the bulk...
