Seismic wave propagation in anisotropic ice – Part 1: Elasticity tensor and derived quantities from ice-core properties

A preferred orientation of the anisotropic ice crystals influences the viscosity of the ice bulk and the dynamic behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets. Knowledge about the distribution of crystal anisotropy is mainly provided by crystal orientation fabric (COF) data from ice cores. However, the devel...
