Details of Research
TitleAeolian sediment transport and deposition in a modern high-latitude glacial marine environmentAbstractwavelengths of 22 +- 2 and 23 +- 2 km, respectively. The simultaneous measurements of temperature and wind allow the intrinsic wave properties to be derived from hodograph analyses unambiguously. The analysis shows that the longer-period wave propagates northward with an azimuth of θ = 11 5 clockwise from north. This wave has a horizontal wavelength of lh = 2.2 0.2 103 km and an intrinsic period of tI = 7.9 +- 0.3 h. The intrinsic horizontal phase speed (CIh) for this wave is 80 4 m/s, while the horizontal and vertical group velocities (Cgh and Cgz) are 48 3 m/s and 0.5 0.1 m/s, respectively.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the New Zealand Ministry for Science and Innovation through Past Antarctic Climate and Future Implications (ANDRILL-NZ) Programme (contract CO5X1001).
