FRISP Report No. 16 (2005) Precipitation of frazil from Ice Shelf Water plumes
If seawater at the local freezing temperature sinks, it has the potential to melt ice at depth due to the pressure decrease in the freezing temperature of seawater ( 7:53103 C bar1). Conversely, if meltwater released at depth rises, it may become supercooled and ice may form. These two processes tog...

| Summary: | If seawater at the local freezing temperature sinks, it has the potential to melt ice at depth due to the pressure decrease in the freezing temperature of seawater ( 7:53103 C bar1). Conversely, if meltwater released at depth rises, it may become supercooled and ice may form. These two processes together may form an `ice pump', a heat engine |
