准确地描述冰的粘性流动是理解冰川动力学和预测海平面上升的基础。冰的粘度通常由一个简单但基本上未经测试和校准的本构关系来描述,即格伦流动定律,其中变形速率与应力的幂n成比例。在冰流模型中,通常规定值en = 3,尽管观测和实验支持地球上各种应力和温度的值范围。在这里,我们利用最近对南极冰架的遥感观测表明,格伦流动定律近似于在快速流动地区n = 4.1 ± 0.4的冰的粘性流动。因此,冰的粘度和流速对应力的变化比大多数冰流模型所允许的更敏感。通过校准冰变形的控制方程,我们的结果是改善未来冰川变化预测的一条途径。
Accurate representation of the viscous flow of ice is fundamental to understanding glacier dynamics and projecting sea-level rise. Ice viscosity is often described by a simple but largely untested and uncalibrated constitutive relation, Glen’s Flow Law, wherein the rate of deformation is proportional to stress raised to the powern. The valuen= 3 is commonly prescribed in ice-flow models, though observations and experiments support a range of values across stresses and temperatures found on Earth. Here, we leverage recent remotely-sensed observations of Antarctic ice shelves to show that Glen’s Flow Law approximates the viscous flow of ice withn= 4.1 ± 0.4 in fast-flowing areas. The viscosity and flow rate of ice are therefore more sensitive to changes in stress than most ice-flow models allow. By calibrating the governing equation of ice deformation, our result is a pathway towards improving projections of future glacier change.
