PETROGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUNG SEA ICE, POINT BARROW, ALASKA

Studies were made of a 31.4 cm-long core of sea ice obtained from Elson Lagoon, Point Barrow, Alaska, to determine relationships between structural features readily observed in horizontal thin sections under low magnification. Important intercrystalline structural features ARE A SYSTEMATIC INCREASE...

Description
Summary:Studies were made of a 31.4 cm-long core of sea ice obtained from Elson Lagoon, Point Barrow, Alaska, to determine relationships between structural features readily observed in horizontal thin sections under low magnification. Important intercrystalline structural features ARE A SYSTEMATIC INCREASE IN CRYSTAL SIZE WITH DEPTH AND A FAIRLY CONSTANT 2:1 RATIO BETWEEN THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE ICE CRYSTALS.
