| Accumulations of frazil ice that generally take the form of thin, delicate transparent plates. |
| Tha frazil ice layer grows in all directions, and it finally bridges over the spaces between bars. |
| An equation representing the threshold conditions for the formation of frazil ice jams was determined. |
| Contaminant fluxes associated with the process of frazil ice formation in the Kara sea are much smaller than worst-case estimates. |
| As the slush moves into a flatter, slower moving portion of the stream, the frazil will accumulate under the ice cover. |
| It is an object of the invention to provide an underwater frazil ice detector which is self cleaning. |
