Abstract
The change in width of sea ice cracks seriously affects the transportation during human's activities in the Antarctic sea, but there are few automatic technologies for accurate monitoring of such cracks. To solve this problem, an automatic detecting apparatus for sea ice cracks was designed, and its feasibility and monitoring principles were studied. Furthermore, a practical methodology was developed and such apparatus was applied to the testing of the Antarctic sea ice cracks. The testing results showed that the data were reliable and stable for the analysis of icing behaviour.
Abstract
Während menschlicher Aktivitäten in der Antarktischen See beeinflusst die Änderung der Weite von Rissen im Meereis stark den Transport, es existieren jedoch nur wenige Technologien für eine akkurate Aufzeichnung solcher Risse. Um diese Problematik zu lösen, wurde ein automatischer Erkennungsapparat für Risse im Meereis entwickelt, und es wurden seine Verwendbarkeit sowie die Überwachungsverfahren untersucht. Darüber hinaus wurde eine praktische Methodik entwickelt und der Apparat für die Prüfung von Rissen im antarktischen Meereis eingesetzt. Die Prüfergebnisse zeigen, dass die Datenerfassung zur Analyse des Vereisungsverhaltens verlässlich und stabil erfolgt.
