Experimental Determination of Melting Rates of Ice Moving in Seawater.
Large, fresh-water ice blocks (0.5m x 1.25 x 5m) were towed in Monterey Bay at speeds in range from 0.7 to 1.2 knots. Experimental objectives included measuring gross regression rates of ice surfaces, wake temperature, turbulent thermal boundary layer, ice interior temperature profile, and observati...
