Promoting the Decay of Sea-Ice
Proposes a method for hastening the spring melting by hosing the ice with sea water. This would raise the salinity of the surface from approx. 5 per mil in the Arctic, to 20 or 30 per mil, resulting in increased absorption of solar radiation, greater surface heat, etc., which in turn would weaken th...
