Changes in the Salinity and Porosity of Sea-Ice Samples During Shipping and Storage
Abstract A theoretical examination of salinity and porosity changes introduced in sea-ice samples by brine expulsion and gas entrapment caused by thermal cycling during shipping and storage shows that in extreme cases such effects can be significant, resulting in 15% reductions in porosity ( n ) Mor...

| Summary: | Abstract A theoretical examination of salinity and porosity changes introduced in sea-ice samples by brine expulsion and gas entrapment caused by thermal cycling during shipping and storage shows that in extreme cases such effects can be significant, resulting in 15% reductions in porosity ( n ) More representative scenarios give porosity changes of less than 2% which, assuming that ice-property variations scale with n 1/2 , result in property variations of less than 1%. |
