Icebergs as tracers of water movement in the Bransfield Strait
The direction and velocity of iceberg drift were measured during 1987 by photogrammetric methods. Drift along the southern coast of King George Island followed the NE and ENE directions of wind and water currents. The highest mean velocities (0.6–0.8 ms −1 ) were recorded in March and April, and the...
