From: Seawater softening of suture zones inhibits fracture propagation in Antarctic ice shelves
Estimated probability densities of bulk suture-zone properties are shown, including a combined rate factor (As in Eq. (4)) for the softer layers VBM-1 (equivalent to ISU-1) and VBM-3 (integrating ISU-3 to ISU-5) (Fig. 4c, d), b ice temperature (T in Eq. (5)) for these layers and c ice seawater fraction for these layers (W in Eq. (6)).
