Drifting upwind is a little hard to
believe, but on the other hand, it would take a fair
bit of courage to drift with the ice like Nansen just
to see for yourself. Let's try making a mini-sea
in the laboratory and experiment with that instead.
We want to set up
a wind blowing on a rotating
sea.
We can blow air across the surface of a water
tank, and place the whole apparatus, fan and all, on
a rotating table.
