Search for temporal changes in the velocity of Ice Stream B, West Antarctica

Abstract The position of the UpB camp on Ice Stream B, West Antarctica, has been measured 14 times during three field seasons. TRANSIT (doppler) satellite receivers were used. At the resolution of our measurements (2 m), no significant velocity variation was detected over time intervals ranging from...

Description
Summary:Abstract The position of the UpB camp on Ice Stream B, West Antarctica, has been measured 14 times during three field seasons. TRANSIT (doppler) satellite receivers were used. At the resolution of our measurements (2 m), no significant velocity variation was detected over time intervals ranging from 1 d to 2 years.
