| It is an object of the invention to provide an underwater frazil ice detector which is self cleaning. |
| The second has the frazil ice model embedded in a commonly used sub-ice shelf ocean circulation model, which is then applied to a simple ice shelf-ocean model domain. |
| Thicker, soupy accumulations of frazil ice which are often herded by wind action are termed grease ice. |
| An equation representing the threshold conditions for the formation of frazil ice jams was determined. |
| Grease ice is a later stage of freezing than frazil ice when the crystals have coagulated to form a soupy layer on the surface. |
| The initial form of sea ice is a slurry of ice crystals called frazil ice, which under various conditions grow together to form many different and complex ice forms. |
