| Abstract: | A mathematical model to predict iceberg drift pattern has been developed, which includes the wave drift force, in addition to the other conventional force components such as forces due to wind, current, Coriolis effect, and geostrophic effect. Trajectories of two icebergs were computed first with the wave effect then without the wave effect. All were compared with the observed results from the field. The model with the wave effect shows a significant improvement in the correlation. |
