单词 stoss and lee
释义
stoss and lee

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Terms referring to the up-glacier and down-glacier slopes respectively of a rocky obstacle that has been glaciated. The stoss slope is smoothly abraded, the lee slope roughly plucked. A landscape dominated by such features is said to have ‘stoss-and-lee topography’.


Geography
  • Glacial landforms with a pronounced asymmetric profile—an abraded slope on the up-ice side (stoss), and a steeper rougher quarried slope on the down-ice side (lee) that has both abraded and quarried surfaces. Individual examples are commonly known as roches moutonnées (Glasser and Bennet (2004) PHG 28, 1).

    The term may be applied to sand ripples (Zheng in R. Allen, U. Förstner, and W. Salamons 2009).
