Idealized Bering Sea nearshore ice regime showing effect of large tidal variations on fast ice.

Advective export of Bering Sea nearshore ice £ilso contributes to the limitation of fast ice. There are many areas along the Bering coast where ice motion has a significant seaward component, and as a result, grounded ridges are seldom buUt in these locations. This condition contrasts sharply with that of near- shore ice in the Beaufort Sea, where the pack ice is nearly always present along the fast-ice boundary and is often driven along the fast ice with a shoreward component of force, thus creating the well-known shear ridges often found in that area. These two distinguishing influences, tidal fluctua- tions and ice advection, affect the Bering coast in varying degrees. At some locations they combine to severely limit the edge of fast ice to isobaths even less than 6 m. At other locations, conditions similar to those found in the Beaufort Sea prevail, with ice ridges grounded along the 20-m Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hood, D.
