Caída de bloques de hielo en los frentes del glaciar de casquete de la isla Livingston (Archipiélago de las Shetland del Sur). Detección por métodos sísmicos. Influencia de las variables ambientales

We used data from a seismic array to study the evolution of calving at Livingston Island. Starting with the idea that the flow is the main cause of calving, we examined the effect of temperature, tide, relative humidity and wind velocity on this phenomenon. Air temperature proved to be the most rele...

Description
Summary:We used data from a seismic array to study the evolution of calving at Livingston Island. Starting with the idea that the flow is the main cause of calving, we examined the effect of temperature, tide, relative humidity and wind velocity on this phenomenon. Air temperature proved to be the most relevant parameter.
