Sorge’s Law of Densification of Snow on High Polar Glaciers
Abstract Ernst Sorge, a member of Wegener’s Greenland Expedition 1930–31, discovered an important law on the densification of snow in high polar glaciers. It is here given a simple mathematical form and some of its implications are formulated and discussed. Apart from its significance to glaciology...
