Stress-gradient coupling in glacier flow: II. Longitudinal averaging of the flow response to small perturbations in ice thickness and surface slope
As a result of the coupling effects of longitudinal stress gradients, the perturbations Δu in glacier-flow velocity that result from longitudinally varying perturbations in ice thickness Δh and surface slope Δɑ are determined by a weighted longitudinal average of ФhΔh and Ф_ɑΔɑ, where Фh and Ф_ɑ are...
