Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In an attempt to increase the fundamental understanding of the formation and evolution of frazil ice, laboratory experiments have been conducted in a counterrotating flume at the Hydraulics Research and Testing Facility, University of Manitoba. A high-precision thermometer and recently improved digital image processing system were used to acquire data from these experiments, which will hopefully aid in the development of numerical models. The image processing system is described, and results from a series of experiments are presented. The effects of air temperature, water velocity, and bottom roughness on the formation of frazil ice are discussed. A lognormal distribution appears to provide a reasonable fit to the observed frazil particle size distributions.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
