FREEZING OF OLD ICE

PROMERZANIYE MNOGOLETNYKH L'DOV

Presents an analytical method of determining the temperature decrease in the sea ice that remains unmelted during the summer and subsequently freezes and grows in thickness during the following winter. Approx values are given for solar radiation absorbed by the ice during the summer, the character of temperature change in ice with depth, and the nomograms for calculating temperature at the snow-ice boundary, and for approx determination of ice growth in terms of ambient air temp. The theoretical results are found to agree satisfactorily with the values of time duration of ice freezing as observed at drifting stations.
