Ice Thickness Distribution Test
Abstract
Our long term goal is to undertake an experiment that will test the theory of how sea ice thickness distribution is changed by thermodynamics and by large-scale deformation. The minimal experiment envisaged involves two sequential surveys of ice draft in some region by an upward-looking sonar carried on a submarine. The theory is tested by seeing whether the change predicted over the time interval between the two surveys matches the change observed by submarine.
