A Kiwi research team has, for the first time ever, used a fixed wing aircraft to measure the thickness of a huge area of sea ice in Antarctica.
This is a major milestone for understanding sea ice processes in a region of Antarctica known as the Western Ross Sea. Sea ice is ice that forms on top of the ocean.
A Kiwi research team has, for the first time ever, used a
fixed wing aircraft to measure the thickness of a huge area
of sea ice in Antarctica.
This is a major milestone
for understanding sea ice processes in a region of
Antarctica known as the Western Ross Sea. Sea ice is ice
that forms on top of the ocean.
The team, led by
University of Canterbury Glaciologist Wolfgang Rack, has
just published their findings in an article
in
Geophysical Research Letters.
The
researchers have identified an area of thicker-than-expected
ice in the Ross Sea that formed as a result of wind-driven
