The formation of sea ice in the presence of turbulence was studied using data from drifting buoy deployments and ice sampling in the Weddell Sea during April 2000. The study sought to improve understanding of pancake ice in terms of dynamics, heat fluxes, ice growth rates and mechanisms. Ice motion...
