3 Scheme of an ice sheet

4 Transport processes in an ice sheet

5 Simplified ice sheet model z Atmosphere Cold ice F (x,t) = s Temp. ice F (x,t) = CTS F (x,t) = b Lithosphere x,y Cold-ice zone (pure ice only) Temperate-ice zone (liquid water present) Free surface and glacier base represented by differentiable surfaces

6 Modelled problem - cold ice zone Stokes flow problem divτ +ρ g = Rheology τ ij = pδ ij +σ ij Equation of continuity (Constant homogeneous ice density) div v = Energy balance Heat transport equation ρc(t)ṫ = div(κ(t)gradt)+τ. ε σ ij = η ε ij ε ij = ( vi + v ) j x j x i η = A(T ) 3 ε 3 II ( ) A(T Q ) = A exp R(T + T ) εkl ε kl ε II =

7 Boundary conditions Free surface Kinematic boundary condition fs + v gradfs = a s t Dynamic boundary condition Traction-free τ n s = Surface temperature T = T s ( x, t) Accumulation-ablation function Glacier base Kinematic boundary condition f ( x, t) given b Dynamic boundary conditions Frozen-bed conditions, T < T M : v = Sliding law T = T M : v = g(τ n) Geothermal heat flux q + = q geo ( x, t) a s = a s ( x, t)

8 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Glaciers and ice sheets are typically very flat features, with the aspect (height:horizontal) ratio less than for small valley glaciers and one order less for big ice sheets ( )

9 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Natural scaling may be introduced: kinematic quantities (x, x, x 3) = ([L] x,[l] x,[h] x 3) (v, v, v 3) = ([V ]ṽ,[v ]ṽ,[v ]ṽ 3) (f s(x, x ), f b (x, x )) = [H]( f s( x, x ), f b ( x, x )) ε = [H] [L] = [V ] [V ] dynamic quantities - p = ρg[h] p (σ 3,σ 3) = ρg[h]( σ 3, σ 3) (σ,σ,σ ) = ρg[h]( σ, σ, σ )

10 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Natural scaling may be introduced: kinematic quantities (x, x, x 3) = ([L] x,[l] x,[h] x 3) (v, v, v 3) = ([V ]ṽ,[v ]ṽ,[v ]ṽ 3) (f s(x, x ), f b (x, x )) = [H]( f s( x, x ), f b ( x, x )) ε = [H] [L] = [V ] [V ] dynamic quantities - Shallow Ice Approximation SIA p = ρg[h] p (σ 3,σ 3) = ερg[h]( σ 3, σ 3) (σ,σ,σ ) = ε ρg[h]( σ, σ, σ )

11 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Standard scaling perturbation series constructed: all field unknowns (ṽ i, σ ij, f s, f b ) are expressed by a power series in the aspect ratio ε q = q () +ε q () +ε q () +... and inserting these expressions into governing equations (eq. of motion, continuity, rheology) leads to separation of these equations according to the order of ε. (Implicit assumption: not only q is now scaled to unity but also its gradient (???))

12 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Keeping only lowest-order terms, we arrive at the Shallow Ice Approximation, which can be explicitly solved where ( ) (x, x ) p () (, x 3) = f () s ( ) x 3 σ () 3 σ () 3 (, x3) = f () s ( ) x (f () s ( ) x 3) (, x3) = f () s ( ) x (f () s ( ) x 3)

13 Scaling Approximation plausibility and motivation Also the velocities may be expressed semi-analytically as x3 v () (, x3) = v() ( ) sl + A(T (, x 3)) f () b ( ) v () (, x3) = v() ( ) sl + v 3 from equation of continuity x3 f () b ( ) A(T (, x 3)) ( x3 v () 3 (, x3) = v() 3 ( ) sl f () b ( ) v () ( ( σ () 3 σ () 3 () ) +σ 3 σ () 3 (, x 3)dx 3 () ) +σ 3 σ () 3 (, x 3)dx 3 ) (, x 3)+ v() (, x 3) x x dx 3

14 Problems of SIA Zeroth order model looses validity in regions where higher-order terms become important: Regions of high curvature of the surface

15 Problems of SIA Zeroth order model looses validity in regions where higher-order terms become important: Regions of high curvature of the surface Regions where a-priori dynamic scaling assumptions are violated (floating ice SSA, ice streams)

16 Problems of SIA Zeroth order model looses validity in regions where higher-order terms become important: Regions of high curvature of the surface Regions where a-priori dynamic scaling assumptions are violated (floating ice SSA, ice streams) Figure: RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Project

17 Solution? Higher-order models continuation of the expansion procedure and solving for higher-order corrections (Pattyn F., Rybak O.) Full Stokes Solvers Finite Elements Methods (Elmer - Gagliardini O.), Spectral methods (Hindmarsch R.) PROBLEM is the speed of full-stokes and higher-order techniques, the computational demands disable usage of these techniques in large-scale evolutionary models

18 Any ideas? Aim: Find an "intermediate" technique that would exploit the scaling assumptions of flatness of ice but would provide "better" solution than SIA: KEY IDEA: Apply the scaling assumptions of smallness not on the particular stress components but only on their deviations from the full-stokes solution
