Implications of the form of the Flow Law for Vertical Velocity and Age–Depth Profiles in Polar Ice
Abstract Two situations are studied in relation to the flow law of polar ice. In each case, models are used with a flow-law exponent of one, and with the more traditional exponent of three. The horizontal velocity profile at Devon Island, Arctic Canada, is better fitted by n = 1; for the vertical ve...
