Data Analysis and Modeling of Arctic Sea Ice Subsurface Roughness.

Statistical data analysis and models are used to characterize and summarize the roughness of the underside of sea ice in the Arctic. Keel spacings and depths are modeled by sculptured exponentials, and by gamma distributions. The data studied was obtained by upward looking sonar on the submarine GUR...

Description
Summary:Statistical data analysis and models are used to characterize and summarize the roughness of the underside of sea ice in the Arctic. Keel spacings and depths are modeled by sculptured exponentials, and by gamma distributions. The data studied was obtained by upward looking sonar on the submarine GURNARD during April, 1976, in the Beaufort Sea. The models and methods should be more widely applicable. (Author)
