1 Golden, Kenneth M.Inverse electromagnetic scattering models for sea iceInverse scattering algorithms for reconstructing the physical properties of sea ice from scattered electromagnetic field data are presented. The development of these algorithms has advanced the theory of remote sensing, particularly in the microwave region, and has the potential to form the basis f...Polar ice; Electromagnetic scattering; Electromagnetic scattering inverse problems; Multilayer random media; Dielectric materials; Nonhomogeneous media; Remote sensing1998
2 Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, PatrickProperties of the mean momentum balance in turbulent boundary layer, pipe and channel flowsThe properties of the mean momentum balance in turbulent boundary layer, pipe and channel flows are explored both experimentally and theoretically. Available high-quality data reveal a dynamically relevant four-layer description that is a departure from the mean profile four-layer description tradit...Turbulent channel flow; Pipe flow; Reynolds stress2005
3 Golden, Kenneth M.Laboratory measurements of sea ice: connections to microwave remote sensingThe connections between laboratory measurements and remote-sensing observations of sea ice are explored. The focus of this paper is on thin ice, which is more easily simulated in a laboratory environment. We summarize results of C-band scatterometer measurements and discuss how they may help in the ...Electromagnetic; Radar; Backscatter1998
4 Golden, Kenneth M.Bounds on the complex permittivity of sea iceAn analytic method for obtaining bounds on effective properties of composites is applied to the complex permittivity e* of sea ice. The sea ice is assumed to be a two-component random medium consisting of pure ice of permittivity e1, and brine of permittivity e2. The method exploits the properties ...Brine; Properties; Geometry1995
5 Golden, Kenneth M.Climate change and the mathematics of transport in sea iceAs the boundary layer between the ocean and atmosphere in the polar regions, sea ice is a critical component of the global climate system. As temperatures on Earth have warmed, the Arctic sea ice pack in particular has exhibited a dramatic decline in its summer extent. Indeed, the polar sea-ice pack...Polar ice; Fluid flow; Complex permittivity2009
6 Golden, Kenneth M.Broad spectral, interdisciplinary investigation of the electromagnetic properties of sea iceThis paper highlights the interrelationship of research completed by a team of investigators and presented in the several individual papers comprising this Special Section on the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Arlington, VA, Sponsored Sea Ice Electromagnetics Accelerated Research Initiative (ARI).Scattering; Radiation; EM1998
7 Golden, Kenneth M.Sea ice studies in the Weddell Sea aboard USCGC Polar SeaOur purpose was to investigate several of the characteristics of Weddell Sea pack ice that may affect the relative roles of dynamics and thermodynamics of pack ice development in this region. The total pack ice production and the movement of pack ice from its source area in the Weddell Sea is part...Floes.; Salinity; Formation1980
8 Golden, Kenneth M.Bounds on the complex permittivity of matrix-particle compositesThe complex effective dielectric constant E* of matrix-particle composites is considered. Such composites consist of separated inclusions of material of type one embedded in a matrix of material of type two. The analytic continuation method is used to derive a series of bounds which incorporate a n...Random; Parameters; Continuation1995
9 Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, PatrickMultiscale analysis of heat transfer in fully developed turbulent channel flowAn analysis is given for fully developed thermal transport through a wall-bounded turbulent fluid with constant heat flux supplied at the boundary. The analysis proceeds from the aver-aged heat equation and utilizes, as principal tools, various scaling considerations.

10 Golden, Kenneth M.Transition in the fractal geometry of Arctic melt pondsDuring the Arctic melt season, the sea ice surface undergoes a remarkable transformation from vast expanses of snow covered ice to complex mosaics of ice and melt ponds. Sea ice albedo, a key parameter in climate modeling, is determined by the complex evolution of melt pond configurations. In fact, ...2012-01-01
11 Golden, Kenneth M.Brine percolation and the transport properties of sea iceSea ice is distinguished from many other porous composites, such as sandstones or bone, in that its microstructure and bulk material properties can vary dramatically over a small temperature range. For brine-volume fractions below a critical value of about 5%, which corresponds to a critical tempera...Brine volume; Percolation theory; Connectedness properties2001

13 Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, PatrickStress gradient balance layers and scale hierarchies in wall-bounded turbulent flowsSteady Couette and pressure-driven turbulent channel flows have large regions in which the gradients of the viscous and Reynolds stresses are approximately in balance (stress gradient balance regions). In the case of Couette flow, this region occupies the entire channel. Moreover, the relevant featu...Couette flow; Stress gradient balance; Reynolds stress; Turbulent channel flow2005
14 Golden, Kenneth M.; Zhu, Jing YiNetwork model for fluid transport through sea iceThe flow of liquid through porous sea ice is a fundamental process affecting problems in polar biology, oceanography and geophysics. The geometry and connectedness of the pore microstructure of sea ice determine its fluid permeability, which depends strongly on temperature.
