Responses of sub-ice platelet layer thickening rate and frazil-ice concentration to variations in ice-shelf water supercooling in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Persistent outflow of supercooled ice-shelf water (ISW) from beneath McMurdo Ice Shelf creates a rapidly growing sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) with a unique crystallographic structure under the sea ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.

An inter-comparison of the mass budget of the Arctic sea ice in CMIP6 models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 We compare the mass budget of the Arctic sea ice for 15 models submitted to the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), using new diagnostics that have not been available for previous model inter-comparisons.

Adhesion of frazil ice to underwater structures
, 1968 The adhesion of frazil ice to different surfaces was studied in the laboratory under varying conditions. Field tests were made by submerging pipes, coated in a non-ice- nucleating grease, in frazil-producing rapids. The results of these experiments are discussed and the usefulness of protective coatings in preventing the adhesion of frazil ice to ...

Laboratory study of the properties of frazil ice particles and flocs in water of different salinities [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Measurements of the size and shape of frazil ice particles and flocs in saline water and of frazil ice flocs in freshwater are limited. This study consisted of a series of laboratory experiments producing frazil ice at salinities of 0 ‰, 15

Frazil-ice growth rate and dynamics in mixed layers and sub-ice-shelf plumes [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The growth of frazil or granular ice is an important mode of ice formation in the cryosphere. Recent advances have improved our understanding of the microphysical processes that control the rate of ice-crystal growth when water is cooled beneath its ...

Laboratory study of frazil ice accumulation under wave conditions [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Ice growth in turbulent seawater is often accompanied by the accumulation of frazil ice crystals at its surface, forming a grease ice layer. The thickness and volume fraction of this ice layer play an important role in shaping the gradual transition from

High-resolution simulations of interactions between surface ocean dynamics and frazil ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Frazil and grease ice forms in the ocean mixed layer (OML) during highly turbulent conditions (strong wind, large waves) accompanied by intense heat loss to the atmosphere.

The Effect of Pseudofrazil Particle Entrainment on Salinity Measurements
Earth and Space Science, 2023 Salinity effects of particles entrained into conductivity cells have previously mainly been studied in the context of suspended sediment. Particles influencing conductivity cells can also be small ice crystals (frazil) that may form in supercooled water.

Frazil ice growth and production during katabatic wind events in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Katabatic winds in coastal polynyas expose the ocean to extreme heat loss, causing intense sea ice production and dense water formation around Antarctica throughout autumn and winter.
