An Analysis of the Relation between the Surface and Bedrock Profiles of Ice Caps

Results are presented of spectral analyses of the surface and bedrock profiles along a flow line of the Wilkes ice cap and the surface along the Greenland E.G.I.G. profile. Although the bedrock appears irregular over all wavelengths studied, the ice-cap surface is typically characterized by a smooth...

Description
Summary:Results are presented of spectral analyses of the surface and bedrock profiles along a flow line of the Wilkes ice cap and the surface along the Greenland E.G.I.G. profile. Although the bedrock appears irregular over all wavelengths studied, the ice-cap surface is typically characterized by a smooth curve with small-scale surface undulations superimposed on it. The following relations of Budd (1969, 1970) are confirmed. (Author) Abstracts in French and German.
