On the Conditional Frazil Ice Instability in Seawater [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2015 AbstractIt has been suggested that the presence of frazil ice can lead to a conditional instability in seawater. Any frazil forming in the water column reduces the bulk density of a parcel of frazil–seawater mixture, causing it to rise. As a result of the pressure decrease in the freezing point, this causes more frazil to form, causing the parcel to ...

Lagrangian modelling of frazil ice in the ocean [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2015 AbstractA new modelling framework using Lagrangian particle tracking has been developed to assess dynamic and thermodynamic effects of underwater frazil ice. This frazil-ice model treats a Lagrangian particle as a bulk cluster of many frazil crystals, and calculates the thermodynamic growth of each particle and the corresponding budget of latent heat ...

Frazil ice crystal collisions [PDF]
Frazil ice crystals are small, often disk-shaped, millimetre sized crystals that form in supercooled turbulent water. Frazil ice crystals are found in rivers, lakes and the sea. Despite their small size, frazil ice crystals have significant impacts on infrastructure and the climate, in particular through the role frazil ice formation plays in the water

FIELD OBSERVATION OF FRAZIL PARTICLE DISTRIBUTION AND FRAZIL TRANSPORT CAPACITY IN ICE-COVERED RIVERS [PDF]
Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser. B1 (Hydraulic Engineering), 2013 Frazil particle distribution in ice-covered rivers is not well understood. In this paper, we carried out field observation in northern Hokkaido. In this result, shape of frazil particle distribution is sharper than normal distribution. and it is inclined

Analyses of Peace River Shallow Water Ice Profiling Sonar data and their implications for the roles played by frazil ice and in situ anchor ice growth in a freezing river [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Peace River SWIPS (Shallow Water Ice Profiling Sonar) data were analyzed to quantify the roles of frazil ice and riverbed anchor ice grown in situ during the initial buildup of a seasonal ice cover.

Spatial characteristics of frazil streaks in the Terra Nova Bay Polynya from high-resolution visible satellite imagery [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Coastal polynyas around the Antarctic continent are regions of very strong ocean–atmosphere heat and moisture exchange that are important for local and regional weather, sea ice production, and water mass formation. Due to extreme atmospheric conditions (

Continuous in situ measurements of anchor ice formation, growth, and release [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 In northern rivers, turbulent water becomes supercooled (i.e. cooled to slightly below the freezing point) when exposed to freezing air temperatures. In supercooled turbulent water, frazil (small ice disks) crystals are generated in the water column, and

Uncertainty analysis of single- and multiple-size-class frazil ice models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 The formation of frazil ice in supercooled waters has been extensively studied, both experimentally and numerically, in recent years. Numerical models, with varying degrees of complexity, have been proposed; these are often based on many parameters, the ...
