Autumn, Development and Consolidation of Sea Ice

| Summary: | This chapter describes the period of development of new ice during autumn freeze-up, different ice types, and development of the brine channels (2.1). Optical properties of young and developing sea ice are described in terms of the transition from open water to bare sea ice, that later can be covered by snow (2.2). The incorporation and scavenging of ice algae, bacteria and meiofauna from the water column during ice growth and freeze-up are then described (2.3). Development of platelet ice, a prominent under-ice feature in Antarctica and recently observed in the Arctic, is described (2.4). The final section describes frost flowers and brine skim development, and the dynamics of the bacteria communities in the frost flowers and brine skim on top of newly formed sea ice (2.5). |
