Short-Period Internal Waves under an Ice Cover in Van Mijen Fjord, Svalbard

Temperature and velocity fluctuations measured in Van Mijen Fjord in Svalbard and interpreted as the fluctuations induced by internal waves revealed the existence of short-period internal waves with an amplitude of approximately 1 m and a period of approximately 5–10 min that correlate with the ice...

Description
Summary:Temperature and velocity fluctuations measured in Van Mijen Fjord in Svalbard and interpreted as the fluctuations induced by internal waves revealed the existence of short-period internal waves with an amplitude of approximately 1 m and a period of approximately 5–10 min that correlate with the ice cover fluctuations of the same period with an amplitude of a few millimeters.
