Sentence examples for onset of ice from inspiring English sources

If all the ice were routinely to disappear by late July, that energy absorption would halt, the Arctic Ocean would warm by several degrees, delaying the onset of ice formation in the autumn.

Nucleation beginning on an ice particle, however, can take place upon only slight supercooling, and it is generally believed that ice particles originating from above the water surface are responsible for the initial onset of ice on the surface of a lake.

LGM glaciation peaked between 33 ka and 26.5 ka and onset of ice retreat initiated at about 20 19 ka (Clark et al. 2009).

The nature of the regolith that existed on the shields of the Northern Hemisphere at the onset of ice sheet glaciation is poorly constrained.

Our interpretation highlights the strong vertical thermal zonation on mountains, and the spatial variations in ice rheology (softness), ice temperature and, by inference, ice velocity in troughs — intimately associated with the onset of ice streaming in tributaries.

By measuring the intensity and polarization properties of the backscattered, reflected and transmitted light, we demonstrate that it is possible to obtain information on the onset of icing conditions and to determine the thickness and type of ice accreted on the wing in real time.

Where mud and dust obscured the roads, and currents made the rivers slow going in Northern lands, the onset of winter ice turned them into corridors of speed.
