ARCTIC ICE DYNAMICS JOINT EXPERIMENT. ICE DYNAMICS

The report contains several papers related to ice motion. The first paper describes an experiment to measure the surface tilt of an ice-covered ocean using a hydrostatic leveling system. The second paper discusses the distribution of ice (by age, thickness, and hummockedness) in the Arctic resulting from accumulation, ablation, and export of ice. The third and fourth papers are translations of Soviet research on ice floe motion and the drift of ice fields. Also included in the Bulletin are abstracts of two papers dealing with thermodynamic modeling of sea ice.
