Elements of an Iceberg Deterioration Model.

A model of iceberg deterioration using loss of mass has been developed which is based upon gross iceberg characteristics and environmental factors. The significant iceberg characteristics have been determined to be waterline length, height above water, and class (drydock, pinnacle, tabular, or domed...
