冰山漂移的解析模式
An analytical model of iceberg drift
摘要：
冰山漂移和衰变以及相关的淡水释放越来越被视为地球气候系统中的重要过程，但对其动力学的详细了解仍然难以捉摸。在这里，一个理想化的冰山漂移模型。该模型的目的是包括最突出的物理过程，确定冰山运动，同时保持足够简单，以促进物理洞察冰山漂移动力学。我们推导出该模型的解析解，这有助于建立理解，也使大量的冰山轨迹的快速计算。长期存在的经验法则，冰山漂移的2%的风速，相对于洋流，是来自这里的物理第一原理，它表明，这种关系只在强风或小冰山的限制，这大约适用于典型的冰山在北极。结果表明，弱风或大冰山的相反限制近似适用于典型的南极板状冰山，在这种情况下，冰山只是随着海洋表层洋流移动。进一步发现，当风强时，风阻力驱动冰山沿风吹的方向移动，而弱风驱动冰山与风向成90度角。
英文摘要：
Iceberg drift and decay and the associated freshwater release are increasingly seen as important processes in Earth's climate system, yet a detailed understanding of their dynamics has remained elusive. Here, an idealized model of iceberg drift is presented. The model is designed to include the most salient physical processes that determine iceberg motion while remaining sufficiently simple to facilitate physical insight into iceberg drift dynamics. We derive an analytical solution of the model, which helps build understanding and also enables the rapid computation of large numbers of iceberg trajectories. The long-standing empirical rule of thumb that icebergs drift at 2% of the wind velocity, relative to the ocean current, is derived here from physical first principles, and it is shown that this relation only holds in the limit of strong winds or small icebergs, which approximately applies for typical icebergs in the Arctic. It is demonstrated that the opposite limit of weak winds or large icebergs approximately applies for typical Antarctic tabular icebergs, and that in this case the icebergs simply move with the ocean surface current. It is furthermore found that when winds are strong, wind drag drives icebergs in the direction the wind blows, whereas weak winds drive icebergs at a 90 degree angle to the wind direction.
