The rocks are not deforming. They are on top of the ice and get transported by the ice.

u_s = the x-component of the surface velocity, v_s = the y-component of the surface velocity, h_d = the thickness of the rock layer

I want to model the advection of debris rock layer with a thickness hd on top of a glacier through ice flow with velocity components u and v. Can anybody explain the physical difference between these 2 equations and which one I should take? Thanks

Thanks for the answer! I was thinking maybe to calculate the pressure at the surface with the hypsometric equation and then relate the pressure difference to a vertical velocity... is this also possible?

Hi all, I have some data from an automatic weather station, with recordings of both 2m air temperature and 2m air pressure and also the surface temperature. Is it possible to estimate vertical wind speeds between the AWS and the surface based upon this data? Imagine T_a = 15 degrees and T_s =...
