Description

We present results from measurements of the thermal conductivity of sea ice, ksi, using two different techniques. In the first, ice temperatures were measured at 10 cm and 30 minute intervals by automated thermistor arrays deployed in land-fast first-year (FY) and multi-year (MY) ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, and in FY ice in the Chukchi Sea and shallow Elson Lagoon, near Point Barrow, Alaska. Conductivity profiles through the ice were calculated from the coupled time- and depth- dependen...
