Temperature Distribution Near a Crevasse
Abstract During the summer of 1955, 53 thermocouples were installed in the ice mass near a crevasse in a glacier in the ice sheet of northern Greenland. Temperatures were observed in 1955 and 1956. The accumulated data were sufficient to prepare a description of the transient thermal behavior of the...

| Summary: | Abstract During the summer of 1955, 53 thermocouples were installed in the ice mass near a crevasse in a glacier in the ice sheet of northern Greenland. Temperatures were observed in 1955 and 1956. The accumulated data were sufficient to prepare a description of the transient thermal behavior of the ice body adjacent to the crevasse. The isotherm maps have provided a base for the computation of heat flux vectors. |
