Sentence examples for behaviour of the ice from inspiring English sources
David Pollard of Pennsylvania State University, and Robert DeConto of the University of Massachusetts used a computer model to simulate the behaviour of the ice sheet over the past five million years.
Long term measurements of the cooling system have shown good in-service behaviour of the ice store which fits the specific requirements of the cooling system in combination with the absorption chiller quite well.
In a number of the successions analysed, there is fractal-scaling in the thickness and frequency of foreset beds, which may indicate underlying non-linear dynamics in the behaviour of the ice-marginal depositional system.
Freezing processes in insects are thought to be largely passive [3], so our observations on intact larvae that may have died during imaging are likely reflective of the behaviour of ice in the living organism.
Two papers in 2009 provided geological evidence for understanding the future behaviour of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS).
Since computer models of climate change predict that the consequences of global warming will occur earlier and be most pronounced in the polar regions, particularly the Arctic, monitoring and understanding the behaviour of sea ice are important.
But one peer - Dr Walt Meier from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado - said the behaviour of sea ice becomes less predictable as it gets thinner.
However, to what extent these changes are typical of the behaviour of this sector of the ice sheet is uncertain, as our understanding of the longer-term controls on ice sheet dynamics in this region is limited.
An experimental set-up was constructed to study the friction behaviour of level ice and ice rubble on different seabeds at large scale and realistic stress levels.
Many of the ice behaviours and responses are peculiar as a consequence.
Some, though, will depend on the behaviour of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
