The in situ sea - ice temperature, salinity and density observed from Chinese Antarctic Zhongshan Station have been applied to calculate the vertical profile of sea ice porosity. Based on numerical method, a number of schemes on sea - ice thermal diffusivity versus porosity have been accessed and on...
