| Title |
Brine percolation and the transport properties of sea ice |
| Date |
2001 |
| Description |
Sea ice is distinguished from many other porous composites, such as sandstones or bone, in that its microstructure and bulk material properties can vary dramatically over a small temperature range. For brine-volume fractions below a critical value of about 5%, which corresponds to a critical temperature of about -5oC for salinity of 5 ppt, columnar sea ice is effectively impermeable to fluid transport. |
