Modelling of iceberg drift using wind and current measurements at a fixed station

During the summer of 1972 a major oceanographic investigation was conducted in the Labrador Sea by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science of Memorial University of Newfoundland. Wind velocity measurements taken at sea and on shore, current velocity measurements from a fixed array of current...

Wind velocity measurements taken at sea and on shore, current velocity measurements from a fixed array of current meters, and iceberg trajectory measurements recorded from shore-based radar are analysed.
