Springer - The Drift of Sea Ice (Springer Praxis Books)

The Second Edition of The Drift of Sea Ice offers a deep look into the fundamental laws governing sea ice drift. This updated volume connects the material properties of sea ice with the basic laws of mechanics to provide a comprehensive understanding of ice movement. Readers can explore a detailed system of equations analyzed for general properties of sea ice drift, including the free drift model. The text also provides analytical models for ice drift when internal friction is present. For those interested in practical application, the book includes details on the construction of numerical ice drift models. As a revised and expanded second edition, this work is unique in the English language for its focus on this specific topic. It incorporates much new information and outlines recent research, making it an essential resource for students and professionals in Earth Sciences and higher education.
