An extensive network of GPS sites on the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf and adjoining ice streams show strong tidal modulation of horizontal ice flow at a range of frequencies. A particularly strong (horizontal) response is found at the fortnightly ( M sf ) frequency. Since this tidal constituent is absen...
