To be published in the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf Program Report No. 13, 1999. Analysis of Sub-Ice-Shelf Tides in the Weddell Sea Using SAR Interferometry

Tides near and under floating ice shelves can influence heat transport into the sub-ice-shelf cavity, mixing of the under-ice water column, and the calving and subsequent drift of tabular icebergs. It is extremely difficult to collect ocean data in these environments. Fortunately, synthetic aperture...

Description
Summary:Tides near and under floating ice shelves can influence heat transport into the sub-ice-shelf cavity, mixing of the under-ice water column, and the calving and subsequent drift of tabular icebergs. It is extremely difficult to collect ocean data in these environments. Fortunately, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide information on ocean height variability under the
