ELKS is a project providing a Linux-like OS for systems based on the Intel IA16 architecture (16-bit processors: 8086, 8088, 80188, 80186, 80286, NEC V20, V30 and compatibles). Such systems are ancient computers (IBM-PC XT / AT and clones) as well as more recent SBCs, SoCs, and FPGAs. ELKS supports networking and installation to HDD using both MINIX and FAT file systems.
- Large calving events of the PG [Petermann Glacier] floating ice tongue in 2010 and 2012 (Johannessen et al., 2013; Rückamp et al., 2019) were associated with a 10 % acceleration of the glacier (Rückamp et al., 2019).
- Interestingly, the 2010 calving event occurred at the end of a 4-year period with no or little landfast ice in Nares Strait, which was associated with earlier breakup of landfast ice (Fig. 2).
- The smaller calving event in 2012, on the other hand, followed the re-establishment of extensive landfast ice in Nares Strait in 2011 (Fig. 2).
- Although the calving events have attracted considerable attention, submarine melting of the ice tongue accounts for 80 % of the mass loss at PG [Petermann Glacier], making it particularly sensitive to ice–ocean interactions (Cai et al., 2017; Münchow et al., 2014; Rignot and Steffen, 2008; Rückamp et al., 2019).
- Ice calving (Wikipedia)
Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an iceberg, but may also be a growler, bergy bit, or a crevasse wall breakaway.
