Summary: | Our long term goal is to undertake an experiment that will test the theory of how sea ice thickness distribution is changed by thermodynamics and by large-scale deformation. The minimal experiment envisaged involves two sequential surveys of ice draft in some region by an upward-looking sonar carried on a submarine. The theory is tested by seeing whether the change predicted over the time interval between the two surveys matches the change observed by submarine. |
