Kinetics of Conversion of Air Bubbles to Air-Hydrate Crystals in Antarctic Ice
The depth-dependence of bubble concentration at pressures above the transition to the air hydrate phase and the optical scattering length due to bubbles in deep ice at the South Pole are modeled using diffusion-growth data from the laboratory, taking into account the dependence of age and temperatur...
