Growth rate and salinity profile of first-year sea ice in the High Arctic

This paper describes the growth of sea ice and the salinity profiles observed in Eclipse Sound near Pond Inlet, Baffin Island, Canada, during the winter of 1977-78. A numerical method of calculation has been developed to incorporate the variations in snow conditions and physical properties of ice an...
