Mechanical Properties of Antarctic Sea Ice: Mechanische Eigenschaften von antarktischem Meereis
Sea ice in the Antarctic is crucial for the global climate. Its seasonal variations are of significant importance for Antarctic bio-habitat, primary production, heat, and carbon dioxide uptake of the ocean. However, the annual sea ice cycle, with extensions and declines in the Southern Ocean, is not...

Sea ice in the Antarctic is crucial for the global climate. Its seasonal variations are of significant importance for Antarctic bio-habitat, primary production, heat, and carbon dioxide uptake of the ocean. However, the annual sea ice cycle, with extensions and declines in the Southern Ocean, is not completely understood yet. One reason for this is the poor understanding of the mechanical properties of Antarctic sea ice, which differ from the ones of the Arctic sea ice. To overcome the gap, the rheological properties of frazil ice and the compressive strength of pancake ice as well as consolidated sea ice were measured during three SCALE cruises in the marginal ice zone of the Antarctic. Frazil ice, consisting of small ice crystals floating in water, is the first ice forming in the annual freezing cycle of the Antarctic.
