A salt flux model for salinity change through ice production in the Greenland Sea, and its relationship to winter convection

A salt flux model which incorporates ice formation, advection and melt, as well as time-dependent brine drainage from frazil-pancake ice, has been developed for the central Greenland Sea in winter. Information from ice drifting buoys suggests that this region can be thought of as similar to a latent...
