A laboratory experiment on melting of pressure ridge keels in the summer Arctic (abstract)
In a laboratory study we consider a phenomenon which occurs in the summer Arctic; namely, the melting of the pressure ridge keels in salt-stratified water at uniform temperatures. The experiments took place in a glass tank that measured 0.60m long, 0.30m wide, and 0.45m deep, which was filled to a d...

| Summary: | In a laboratory study we consider a phenomenon which occurs in the summer Arctic; namely, the melting of the pressure ridge keels in salt-stratified water at uniform temperatures. The experiments took place in a glass tank that measured 0.60m long, 0.30m wide, and 0.45m deep, which was filled to a depth of 0.25m with water linearly stratified with salt (salinity at the surface 3%, and salinity gradients : 1.6,2.6,3.8%/m), at uniform temperatures : +10.5,+8.7,+4.4,-0.5,-1.5 |
