Chemical fractionation in sea ice and glacier ice
Analyses of SO^<2->_4, Na^+,Cl^-,Mg^<2+> and Ca^<2+>in ice core samples of multiyear sea ice in the Fram Strait show strong correlations between the concentrations of Mg^<2+>,Na^+,Cl^- and Ca^<2+>(r=0・99)while the correlation coefficients between these ions and SO^<2...

Summary: | Analyses of SO^<2->_4, Na^+,Cl^-,Mg^<2+> and Ca^<2+>in ice core samples of multiyear sea ice in the Fram Strait show strong correlations between the concentrations of Mg^<2+>,Na^+,Cl^- and Ca^<2+>(r=0・99)while the correlation coefficients between these ions and SO^<2->_4 were less than O.9.Most samples had a deficit of sulfate relative to sea water of the same salinity. Excess sulfate was found in a few samples with low salinities.Chemical analyses of snow,ice and meltwater from temperate glaciers have demonstrated that sulfate is more efficiently washed out when meltwater penetrates through ice than are Cl^?,Mg^<2+> and Ca^<2+>.Washout therefore leads to deficit of sulfate in ice,whereas refreezing of meltwater creates an excess of sulfate relative to sea water with the same content of chloride. application/pdf journal article |
