X-ray computed microtomography of sea ice - comment on "A review of air-ice chemical and physical interactions (AICI): liquids, quasi-liquids, and solids in snow" by Bartels-Rausch et al. (2014)

This comment addresses a statement made in “A review of air–ice chemical and physical interactions (AICI): liquids, quasi-liquids, and solids in snow” by Bartels-Rausch et al. (Atmos. Chem. Phys., 14, 1587–1633, doi:10.5194/acp- 14-1587-2014, 2014). Here we rebut the assertion that X-ray computed mi...

Description
Summary:This comment addresses a statement made in “A review of air–ice chemical and physical interactions (AICI): liquids, quasi-liquids, and solids in snow” by Bartels-Rausch et al. (Atmos. Chem. Phys., 14, 1587–1633, doi:10.5194/acp- 14-1587-2014, 2014). Here we rebut the assertion that X-ray computed microtomography of sea ice fails to reveal liquid brine inclusions by discussing the phases present at the analysis temperature.
