A question description.
A POAC-2011 paper by Sudom et al., ("Analysis of first-year and old ice ridge characteristics"), 347 studied ridges are reported (areas from the Baltic Sea to Okhotsk Sea and Labrador Sea etc.).
I mean the "studied ridges" the ridges that are drilled thru with wriring the voids, keel depth etc.
Is there any new numbers for the studied ice ridges (with subduvision on areas of studies)? Need a recent numbers for comparison of what we have.
Regards in advance.
best regards,
Igor Buzin
Some new add-ons.
My colleague - Dr. Viktor Kharitonov just infromed me that some more ice ridges (+10) were studied (drilled thru) in 201-2015, details are in:
So the total nown number of the studied ice rideges (i.e. this is based ONLY on the published information) is 347+10 ridges.
If anyone knows some more facts - please let me know.
cheers,
Igor Buzin
- 4 ridges were studied at N-ICE 2015 (R1,2,3 and 4)
- 3 ridges were studied at MOSAiC (Fort, Alli's, and Jaridge)
- 1 ridge was studied by Leppäranta et al. (1995)
- at least 3 ridges were drilled by Marchenko (2022) near Svalbard
Dear Evgenii,
many thanks for updating!
Could you please send the titles of these papers (for searching and downloading them)?
As for now, it looks that there are at least 347+10+8 (mentioned by you) studied ice ridges are described in the literature.
Hope to come back to this question a bit later.
best regards,
Igor Buzin
I suppose it's not correct to answer your own question (?!), but here is small update.
In the Conference Paper (pls. see the link below) an attempt is made to count all known materials on ice morphometry, ice cover physical-mechanical propeprties and icebergs - THAT HAD BEEN COLLECTED by AARI.
The summary of lines ##1, 5, 8, 10-17 in the Table 1 gives an amount of studied ice ridges of 525. It means that according to AARI's results, the number of the drilled-thru ice ridges (with the data on dimensions of the ice ridge sail, keel, voids, inner structure, porosity, consolidated layer etc.) studied in the Russian Arctic, is equal to 525. Not a bad result I think - taking in mind that the ridge drilling is a damned labour consuing activity.

I am not sure which Baltic ridges were included in the 2011 POAC paper synthesis, but the PhD thesis by Kankaanpää (1997) - noted that 14 ridges in the Baltic were studied.
