 Damped free drift of an iceberg

For a constant wind force $\mathbf{F}$, still water, and linear water drag force $-m\gamma \mathbf{v}$, let $J\mathbf{v}=\hat{\mathbf{z}}\times \mathbf{v}$. The Coriolis parameter $f$ gives equilibrium ${\mathbf{v}}_{\infty }=(\gamma \mathbf{F}-fJ\mathbf{F})/[m({\gamma }^2+f^2)]$. The deviation evolves as $e^{-\gamma t}R(-ft)(\mathbf{v}(0)-{\mathbf{v}}_{\infty })$, a damped inertial oscillation. Actual drag is commonly quadratic, so this is a linear illustrative model rather than a universal iceberg speed law.
