Karl-Erich Lindenschmidt Bücher

This book provides a comprehensive look at river and lake ice processes, covering freeze-up, thickening, breakup, and jamming. It aims to enhance understanding for modeling and forecasting ice behaviors, with exercises and tools like remote sensing imagery included to support learning and numerical modeling.

This book exposes practitioners and students to the theory and application of river and lake ice processes to gain a better understanding of these processes for modelling and forecasting. It focuses on the following processes of the surface water ice: freeze-up, ice cover thickening, ice cover breakup and ice jamming. The reader will receive a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of each component and how they are applied in monitoring and modelling ice covers during the winter season and forecasting ice floods. Exercises accompany each component to reinforce the theoretical principles learned. These exercises will also expose the reader to different tools to process data, such a space-borne remote sensing imagery for ice cover classification. A thread supporting numerical modelling of river ice and lake ice processes runs through the book.
