Oscillations of the Ice Cover Excited by Internal Waves of the Arctic Ocean (Kolebaniya Ledyanogo Pokrova, Obuslovlennyye Vnutrennimi Volnami Ledovitogo Okeana),

Abstract

In 1970 tiltmeters installed on Drift Station North Pole 20 recorded oscillations of the ice cover with periods of up to 25 minutes. Preliminary results of the investigation indicate that these oscillations are excited by internal waves generated in the highly stratified waters of the Arctic Ocean Basin. (Author)
