Recent GPS observations from a spatially extensive networkacross Ronne Ice Shelf show significant daily ice flowvariations. At all sites, the almost-synchronous horizontaldisplacements occur at diurnal and semidiurnal tidal periods.During spring tides, displacements, velocities and strains nearthe i...
