Sub-Temperate Basal Sliding

Abstract Recent observations of glacier sliding at temperatures below the melting point are discussed. It is pointed out that these observations can be simply explained by including solid friction in the sliding law. Furthermore, we re-emphasize the point that such sub-temperate sliding has an impor...
