Determination of the Area of Generation of Big Icebergs in the Barents Sea – Temperature DistributionAnalysis

摘要

Based on the analysis of published materials and field data on therntemperature distribution in icebergs and iceberg-producing glaciers ofrnFranz-Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya obtained by Arctic and AntarcticrnResearch Institute (SI AARI) in 2003 and 2005, the most possible areasrnof formation of some large icebergs are determined. In particular, thernconclusion that the big tabular berg detected in the Shtokman GasrnCondensed Field (Shtokman GCF) in 2003, most likely originated fromrnone of the outlet glaciers of Franz-Josef Land is made. Earlier, thernglaciers of Novaya Zemlya were pointed out as the source of thisrniceberg.
