Modelling of Drift of Nearby Icebergs Using Wind and Current Measurements at a Fixed Station
Abstract
During the summer of 1972 a major oceanographic investigation was conducted in the Labrador Sea by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science of Memorial University, Newfoundland. Wind velocity measurements taken at sea and on shore, current velocity measurements from a fixed array of current meters, and iceberg trajectory measurements recorded from a shore base radar, are analysed. A statistical study shows that an average of 80% of an iceberg’s displacement can be modelled from wind and current measurements. The average response of icebergs to wind and transitory current effects is presented.
