Contaminant fluxes associated with the process of frazil ice formation in the Kara sea are much smaller than worst-case estimates. |
Accumulations of frazil ice that generally take the form of thin, delicate transparent plates. |
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. |
An equation representing the threshold conditions for the formation of frazil ice jams was determined. |
As the slush moves into a flatter, slower moving portion of the stream, the frazil will accumulate under the ice cover. |
