Stress-Gradient Coupling in Glacier Flow: II. Longitudinal Averaging in the Flow Response to Small Perturbations in Ice Thickness and Surface Slope
Abstract As a result of the coupling effects of longitudinal stress gradients, the perturbations ∆ u in glacier-flow velocity that result from longitudinally varying perturbations in ice thickness ∆ h and surface slope ∆α are determined by a weighted longitudinal average of ϕ h ∆ h and ϕ α ∆α, where...
