The Sea Ice Data Base
Sailing vessels and shore stations have long recorded sea ice conditions in many parts of the world oceans and recently a more complete global...

Kinematics of Sea Ice
Kinematics is that branch of physical science dealing with motion itself and not with the causes of the motion. Attention is focused, in this...

Diagnostic Studies of Large-Scale Air-Sea-Ice Interactions
Two approaches to the problem of large-scale air-sea-ice interaction can be distinguished: numerical modelling and diagnostic (statistical) analysis....
-
Remote Sensing as a Research Tool
Remote sensing of the polar oceans ice has revolutionized our view and thinking of sea ice as a global scale phenomenon. The record of pack ice...

The Physical Properties of the Sea Ice Cover
Information on the physical properties of the ice cover of the Nordic Seas has been largely lacking. Therefore this chapter reviews what little is...

Thermodynamic calculations of ice production in the northern Baltic proper
In the preliminary part of this paper it shall be examined in how far ice information which was originally destinated for merchant ship** can be...
-
The Atmospheric Boundary Layer
In consideration of any problem in air-ice-water interaction the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) must, of course, be of central concern. In this...

Mechanical Behavior of Sea Ice
This review deals with properties of sea ice that are relevant to mechanical behavior on a fairly small scale. The main concern is with...

Ice Conditions in the Arctic
Operations in the Arctic have to cope with seasonal sea ice, old multi-year ice, icebergs and ice islands. The oil industry has carried out a large...

Interannual Variability of the Atmosphere-Ocean System
The functioning of the tropical atmosphere in the course of the average annual cycle and the role of weather disturbances in these processes are...
-
Past Climates of the Tropics
The functioning of the tropical climate system was throughout this book considered from various perspectives, but always with emphasis on the modern...

Dynamics of the stationary eddies in the lower stratospheric circulation in the wavenumber domain and monsoon activity
Meridional transports of momentum and sensible heat have been computed using the Fourier coefficients of the geopotential heights at 50 mb and 30 mb...

Antarctic sea ice and related atmospheric circulation during FGGE
Anomalies in zonally averaged and regional Antarctic sea ice extent during the FGGE year (1978–79) are outlined. Interest is centred on the early...

Preparation of Biological Samples for Scanning Electron Microscopy
In this and the next chapter we will consider the practical aspects of specimen preparation for both the scanning electron microscope and the x-ray...

Two unusual monsoon disturbances over southern Asia during summer, 1976
The unusual behaviour of two cyclonic disturbances which originated from the Bay of Bengal during August–September, 1976 is described. Variations of...

A pre-frontal squall line on 14 November 1975
The origin and life cycle of a squall line observed on the South African plateau are reviewed. The squall line was associated with a cold front...

Physical Oceanography of Arctic and Subarctic Seas
The Arctic Ocean (Fig. 1) surrounds the North Pole and is bordered by Europe, Siberia, Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. It is a large basin (9.5 × 106...

The Air Force Global Weather Central operational boundary-layer model
A limited-area seven-layer physical-numerical model for the lower tropospheric region (surface - 1600m) is described. The grid interval,...

Transport of Soil and Snow by Wind
Wind removes, deposits and mixes soil and snow. On soil, these actions are virtually permanent, but on snow they disappear with the snow.
