Desalination processes of sea ice revisited
[1] We reexamine five processes that have been suggested to be important for the loss of salt from sea ice. These processes are the initial fractionation of salt at the ice-ocean interface, brine diffusion, brine expulsion, gravity drainage, and flushing with surface meltwater. We present results fr...
