Equations for Determining the Brine Volume of Sea Ice from −0.5° to −22.9°C.

  • Guenther Frankenstein and Robert Garner
Abstract

Brine volume of sea ice is a function of the salinity and temperature of the ice, and it is related to its strength. This paper gives three equations which can be used to compute the brine volume for three temperature ranges from −0.5° to −22.9°C. A less accurate equation covering the total range is also presented.

Le volume de saumure de la glace de mer est une fonction de la salinité et de la température de la glace, et il est lié à sa solidité. Cette communication donne trois équations qui peuvent être utilisées pour calculer le volume de saumure pour trois domaines de température entre −0,5° et −22,9°C. Une équation moins précise est aussi donnée pour tout le domaine de température.

Zusammenfassung

Das Salzsole-Volumen in Meereis ist eine Funktion des Salzgehaltes und der Temperatur des Eises und steht mit seiner Festigkeit in Beziehung. In dieser Arbeit werden 3 Gleichungen zur Berechnung des Sole-Volumens für 3 Temperaturbereiche von −0,5° bis −22,9°C. angegeben. Auch eine weniger genaue Gleichung für den Gesamtbereich wird vorgelegt.
