Abstract

A thermodynamic potential function for air-free sea ice, specific Gibbs free energy Žfree enthalpy. GŽ s,t, p ., has been
computed in terms of sea ice salinity s, temperature t and pressure p. Its numerical application is restricted to brine salinities
up to 40 grkg and to applied pressures not exceeding 10 MPa. Using the assumption of brine–ice equilibrium the Gibbs
potential is derived from Gibbs free energies of seawater and of pure water ice. Explicit mathematical expressions are
deduced theoretically for various thermodynamic properties of sea ice including, e.g., specific heat at constant pressure,
isothermal compressibility, isobaric thermal volume expansion coefficient, isochoric pressure coefficient, and temperature of
maximum volume. Care is taken for pressure dependencies of all properties and for appropriate salinity root expansions due
¨
to Debye–Huckel theory of electrolytic solutions. Simplified computation formulas are proposed for some important
quantities. q 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction

There is a growing interest in sea ice by oceanography and climatology ŽMaykut and Untersteiner, 1971;
Hibler, 1979; Hibler and Flato, 1992; Hofmann and Klinck, 1996. concerning, e.g., the impact of ice cover on
the exchange of momentum, heat, water, oxygen or CO 2 between ocean and atmosphere or the triggering of
deep convection by densification of surface waters due to freezing. Only a few thermodynamic sea ice
properties have been investigated scientifically by now ŽPettersson, 1878; Weyprecht, 1879; Malmgren, 1927;
Schwerdtfeger, 1963; Ono, 1966; Hobbs, 1974; Yen, 1981; Cox and Weeks, 1983; Cox, 1983; Yen et al., 1991.,
these are mainly heat capacity, density, to some extend thermal expansion and compressibility, and latent heat,
all of them at atmospheric pressure only. Recently ŽFeistel, 1993; Feistel and Hagen, 1995. a Gibbs
thermodynamic potential GŽ S,t, p . for seawater has been determined quantitatively as a function of salinity S,
temperature t and pressure p in the range of oceanographic interest. It provides algorithms for several properties
like density, heat capacity or sound speed, as well as enthalpy, entropy, and chemical potential, which are
important for the theoretical description of brine–ice equilibria appearing in sea ice.

Fig. 1. Validity of sea ice thermodynamic formulas. The sloped lines indicate the melting points of sea ice as function of pressure Ž p . and
temperature Ž t . of fresh water Ž0 PSU. and maximum brine salinity Ž40 PSU., where quantitative sea water thermodynamics becomes
invalid. Below t s y8.28C sodium sulfate precipitates, which adds another component to sea ice and alters brine composition. The pressure
dependence of this saturation curve is unknown.

In this paper we apply the improved knowledge of seawater thermodynamics to the determination of sea ice
properties. Extensions beyond the present state go into four directions:
Ži. Several general thermodynamic formulas are derived for sea ice theoretically.
Žii. Various quantities are determined quantitatively for the first time like enthalpy, adiabatic compressibility,
or the pressure coefficient.
Žiii. The electrolytic character of brine is accounted for explicitly, leading to improved, nonlinear functions
compared to expressions based on ideal solution theory.
Živ. All quantities include their dependence on pressure.

The unit PSU s‘Practical Salinity Unit’, commonly used in oceanography to describe the salt content of
seawater, is based on a potassium chloride conductivity standard ŽLewis and Perkin, 1981; UNESCO, 1981.. If
we denote absolute salinity Žin grams of salt per kilogram of solution. by c, we find practical salinity S Žin PSU.
by c s 1.00488 P S ŽMillero and Leung, 1976; Feistel and Hagen, 1995..
The range of validity of GŽ s,t, p . for sea ice is limited in brine salinity between 0 and 40 PSU, SŽ t, p . F 40,
in temperature between freezing point of fresh water at 08C and y8.28C, where sodium sulfate starts to
precipitate out of the brine ŽMalmgren, 1927; Nelson and Thompson, 1954; Assur, 1960; Schwerdtfeger, 1963;
Horne, 1969., and in pressure between 0 and about 10 MPa. The high pressure limit is perhaps too restrictive;
seawater properties are known up to 100 MPa, however, the usable range of ice compressibility is not quite
clear ŽYen et al., 1991., it might possibly hold even beyond 10 MPa. Freezing point depression data measured
up to 7–10 MPa are precisely predicted by seawater thermodynamics Žwithout using these data for constructing
the corresponding formulas, Fujino et al., 1974; Millero, 1978; Feistel and Hagen, 1995.. As Fig. 1
demonstrates, the saturation at y8.28C occurs at much higher brine salinities than 40 PSU, namely about 150
PSU ŽSchwerdtfeger, 1963.. The pressure dependence of the saturation curve is not known to the authors.
In Section 2 we briefly sketch the actual state of seawater thermodynamics. Section 3 reviews some
thermodynamic properties of pure water ice relevant for its Gibbs potential. In Section 4 we derive the

properties of sea ice as functions of pressure and temperature in the general formalism. Section 5 discusses a
number of handier regression polynomials for freezing points, density, specific heat, etc., including their
pressure dependencies.

2. Gibbs potential of seawater

Thermodynamics of seawater has been subject to various extended studies in the past; a generally accepted
standard for oceanography is formulated in the International Oceanographic Tables, Volume 4 ŽIOT-4,
UNESCO, 1987, 1991.. Recently, these formulas have been unified and completed ŽFeistel, 1993; Feistel and
Hagen, 1995. by assembling a thermodynamic potential function ŽGibbs Function, Specific Gibbs Free Energy,
Specific Free Enthalpy. GŽ S,t, p . in terms of the independent variables salinity S Žin PSU., temperature t Žin 8C,
relative to T o s 273.15 K., and pressure p Žin MPa, relative to standard atmospheric pressure P o s 101325 Pa..

In sea ice, seawater appears as so-called brine. In the following, G will be used for the Gibbs free energy of
sea ice, and s for its salinity. Seawater will be described by G B Ž S,t, p . with S the salinity of the brine Žin PSU..
G B is given in almost polynomial form of dimensionless variables x, y, z

with
S s x 2 P 40 PSU, t s y P 40 8C, p s z P 100 MPa Ž 2.2 .
From various data origins, 87 different coefficients of Eq. Ž2.1. have been determined numerically. Resulting
average deviations are 0.0006 kgrm3 for pure water density at 1 atm, 0.002 kgrm3 for seawater density at 1
atm, 0.02 mrs for sound speed, 0.01 Jrkg K for heat capacity at 1 atm, 0.4 kJrkg for dilution heats, 0.0028C
for freezing points, and 0.048C for temperatures of maximum density. All coefficients g 1 i j vanish for
theoretical reasons. As a deliberate reference state Žwhich determines the values of g 000 , g 200 , g 010 and g 210 .,
entropy and enthalpy of seawater have been set to zero for fresh water Ž0 PSU. and the standard ocean Ž35 PSU.
at atmospheric pressure and at 08C. Due to this definition we find g 000 s 0, g 010 s 0, but g 200 s 1531.9856 and
g 210 s 160.9033 have nonvanishing values depending on all other coefficients g i jk . Note that these coefficients
have only influence on figures of thermo-chemical properties like enthalpy or chemical potential, but not on
thermo-mechanical properties like density or heat capacity, as can be deduced from Eq. Ž2.4.. For thermodynam-
ics of ice, the reference state must be chosen consistently, otherwise phase equilibria cannot be determined
correctly.

Starting from the total differential of GŽ S,t, p .,

For the later treatment of sea ice, especially for the determination of freezing points, several chemical
potentials play a central role. The Gibbs function G B can always be written as the weighted sum of chemical
potentials of the components salt and water:

G B s c P mS q Ž 1 y c . P mW Ž 2.5 .

c is the absolute salinity Žgrams of salt per kilogram brine., mS the chemical potential of salt in brine, and mW
the chemical potential of water in brine, 1 s 1000 grkg.
The derivative of G B with respect to S is the relative chemical potential

mB s Ž E G BrE S . t , p s q P Ž mS y mW . Ž 2.6 .

which decribes the change of Gibbs free energy if at constant pressure and temperature a bit of salt is replaced
by the same mass of water. q s crS s 1.00488 grkg PSU relates Absolute Salinity c in grams of salt per
kilogram of brine to Practical Salinity S in PSU ŽMillero and Leung, 1976..
The chemical potential of water in brine is then computed from G B as

and the chemical potential of salt in brine is given by

3. Gibbs potential of ice

The most comprehensive and careful presentation of fresh water ice properties is probably still the book of
Hobbs Ž1974.. Nevertheless several thermodynamic properties are described there only very briefly. Therefore
we have selected a number of properties of pure water ice at atmospheric pressure mainly from two recent
reviews of Yen Ž1981. and Yen et al. Ž1991.. These data were already required for the computation of some
coefficients of the thermodynamic potential of seawater from freezing point depression data at 1 atm ŽFeistel
and Hagen, 1995.. These are enumerated below.

with a reported error range of 50 ppm. Comparing the results of other authors, a range of variation about 1000
ppm must be stated ŽDantl and Gregora, 1968; Hobbs, 1974.. This is probably due to non-equilibrium
conditions; after freezing new ice was often found to be subject to aging processes with decreasing density

for sea ice, the jump is replaced by a continuous transition. Differences between water and sea water enthalpies are beyond actual graphical
resolution.

measurements of Bridgeman Ž1912., Richard and Speyers Ž1914., linearized around t s 0. Only very few data
are available and they scatter significantly.
We have not used adiabatic compressibility data for va here. The curves for va of Leadbetter Ž1965. and of
Dantl Ž1969. are extremely different from each other at lower temperatures ŽYen, 1981..
At 08C both agree reasonably, the value for vaI is 127.7 ppmrMPa after Leadbetter with an estimated error
of 5%, while the value after Dantl is 119.4 ppmrMPa. Thermodynamics states the relation between the
compressibilities

v t y va s g 2 VTrCP Ž 3.6 .
With the data for g , V, T, CP discussed before the right-hand side expression evaluates to only 3.55
ppmrMPa, which is much too small to explain the reported difference of about 100 ppmrMPa. Note that for
liquid water the compressibilities are about 500 ppmrMPa and deviate from each other only by a few percent.
The reason for this apparent discrepancy is not quite clear; possibly mechanical deformations other than
homogeneous compression play a role. Our computation follows Eq. Ž3.6. and results at 08C in a value for
vaI s 228.6 ppmrMPa.

On one hand, ice compressibility is related to freezing point lowering of water or seawater due to pressure,
which is known with high accuracy Ž3 mK.. On the other hand, pressure dependent freezing point measurements
have not been used to determine the Gibbs potential of seawater because all its high-pressure terms are
preferably computed from other sources like, e.g., sound speeds. For the same reason, ice compressibility is
irrelevant for the treatment of freezing point depression at atmospheric pressure. Here the question arises

salinity S in PSU and divided by the liquid fraction w s srS in order to get a finite intercept in the limit of infinite dilution S s 0. As
abscissa the square root of brine salinity is used, corresponding temperatures are plotted below. The solid lines are values computed after
Eq. Ž4.17. for several sea ice salinities s as indicated. The dotted enveloping line is the contribution of melting heat capacity CPM , indicated

position of these curves depends sensitively on the slope d Srdt of the freezing point depression line; we have used here Raoult’s law
d Srdt s yQrŽ NS P k B P T o2 .. Using instead, e.g., Schwerdtfeger’s value d Srd t s y18 PSUr8C moves all curves down and causes
another intercept in the limit S s 0.The deviations between ours and Schwerdtfeger’s values are mainly due to the absence of electrolytic
properties of brine in the latter treatment. Žb. Contributions to heat capacity Ž CP . of sea ice. At atmospheric pressure, heat capacity

minor influence of heat capacity of brine compared to the others was already noticed by Malmgren, 1927.. Abscissa is brine salinity S in
PSU with corresponding freezing temperatures. Žc. Melting heat capacity ŽMHC.. Melting heat capacity of sea ice CPM in kJrkg after Eq.

whether or not ice compressibility can possibly be determined from measurements of the pressure effect on
freezing temperature. The answer is ‘in principle yes, but not sufficiently precise’. We briefly explain our
opinion.

such that even at p s 10 MPa an uncertainty of D t s 3 mK in measured temperatures gives rise to an error of
D v s 60 ppmrMPa in compressibility, compared with only 10 ppmrMPa estimated by Leadbetter Ž1965..
Even though, for a test of consistency we have carried out a computation of v t based on Eq. Ž3.7. using
freezing point depression measurements of Fujino et al. Ž1974.. The result v tI s 258.8 ppmrMPa agrees with
Eq. Ž3.5. within the limits discussed above.

4. Gibbs potential of sea ice

When seawater freezes, crystals of water ice form causing an increase of salinity in the surrounding liquid.
Sea ice is a mixture of solid water and liquid seawater, called brine, in phase equilibrium. If we denote the mass
fraction of brine by w, brine salinity by S and salinity of the whole sea ice sample by s Ž s s S when the entire
sample is molten. we have for the Gibbs potential G of sea ice

G Ž s,t , p . s w P G B Ž S,t , p . q Ž 1 y w . P G I Ž t , p . , Ž 4.1 .


where G B is the Gibbs free energy of seawater Žbrine. and G I the Gibbs free energy of ice. Because the mass of
salt is the same in the sea ice and in the brine, we note that s s w P S.
At given s, t, p the weight fraction w Ž s,t, p . and together with it brine salinity SŽ t, p . are determined by the
thermodynamic equilibrium between ice and brine. It is established when Gibbs free energy takes its minimum
value at fixed s, t, p.
Ž E GrE w . s,t , p s 0 Ž 4.2 .
Applying this condition to Eq. Ž4.1. shows that at equilibrium both phases have same temperature, pressure,
and chemical potential of water:

mW Ž S,t , p . s mI Ž t , p . . Ž 4.3 .
This is an implicit relation between S, t and p. Solved for S s SŽ t, p . it predicts brine salinity at given
temperature and pressure, solved for t s t Ž S, p . it reads as freezing point depression as a function of salinity and
pressure, finally, solved for p s pŽ S,t . it yields melting pressure as a function of temperature and salinity.
The chemical potential of water in brine is ŽEq. Ž2.7..

mW s G B Ž S,t , p . y S P Ž E G BrE S . t , p s G B y S P mB Ž 4.4 .


and the chemical potential of water in ice is the Gibbs free energy of ice

mI s G I Ž t , p . Ž 4.5 .
We can now rearrange Eq. Ž4.1. to

G Ž s,t , p . s mI Ž t , p . q s P m Ž t , p . Ž 4.6 .
where m Ž t, p . is the relative chemical potential of brine m Ž t, p . s mB Ž S,t, p . s ŽEG B rES . taken at S s SŽ t, p .,
the latter being the solution of the algebraic Eq. Ž4.3.. m and m B are different mathematical representations of
the same physical quantity which must be distinguished clearly when, e.g., a temperature derivative is
considered. In Section 5 we will discuss some explicit approximations of SŽ t, p .. Brine salinity depends
sensitively on temperature Žan error of 1 mK in t corresponds to 0.02 PSU in S ., and m B depends sensitively on
S, at least at small salinities. Simplified analytical expressions for SŽ t, p . need to be derived with care.
96 R. Feistel, E. Hagen r Cold Regions Science and Technology 28 (1998) 83–142

We note the important fact that the salinity dependence of GŽ s,t, p . is simply linear. This is no
approximation but a strict consequence of the assumed brine–ice equilibrium ŽEq. Ž4.3... Salt is assumed here to
be located in brine exclusively. Shape, size or distribution of brine pockets is unimportant for the validity of Eq.
Ž4.6.; they may be spherical bubbles or thin cylinders ŽLangeleben, 1960. or the ice crystals may even float in
seawater. All pockets necessarily have the same brine salinity in the equilibrium state at given t and p
ŽMalmgren, 1927..
Eq. Ž4.6. expresses the thermodynamic potential G of sea ice by only two functions of t and p instead of
one function of s, t and p, which is an important simplification. Additionally, mI Ž t, p . is only a simple
polynomial ŽEqs. Ž3.9. and Ž3.10... Unfortunately m Ž t, p . has a complex mathematical structure if it is written as
a series expansion in t and p around the reference state t s 0, p s 0, and no simple polynomial approximation
can be given here to represent it. However, there is no serious difficulty in obtaining m Ž t, p . on a computer.
Free enthalpy of seawater and sea ice is shown in Fig. 2 around the freezing point. The curves must be
continuous at the transition point because entropy, its slope, is always a finite physical quantity. The phase with

We discuss briefly now the most important thermodynamic properties of sea ice as derived from the potential
function GŽ s,t, p . by partial derivatives of Eq. Ž4.6.. Because w Ž s,t, p . s srSŽ t, p . as the liquid mass fraction
depends on temperature and pressure, too, it is useful for the following to formally introduce first an apparent
specific melting contribution M w F x of an arbitrary thermodynamic quantity F by the relation
M w F x s Ž F B y F I . rS y Ž E F B rE S . t , p Ž 4.7 .
The symbol M wx is used only temporarily here to make calculation steps more transparent.
As usual, superscripts B and I stand for brine and ice, respectively. If x is placeholder for either t or p, we
can generally write a derivative of F s wF B q Ž1 y w . F I in the form
E FrE x s w P Ž E F B rE x . q Ž 1 y w . P Ž E F IrE x . y w P Ž E SrE x . P M w F x Ž 4.8 .
At brine–ice equilibrium ŽEq. Ž4.3.., the apparent melting Gibbs free energy vanishes
M wGx s0 Ž 4.9 .
From this relation a derivative ESrE x can be expressed implicitly as
E SrE x s y E Ž mW y mI . rE x r E Ž mW y mI . rE S s M w E GrE x x r Ž E 2 G B rE S 2 . Ž 4.10 .
Note that ŽE 2 G B rES 2 . is always positive due to Gibbs’ inequality EmB rES ) 0 Žsee, e.g., Landau and
Lifschitz, 1966; Ebeling and Feistel, 1982.. From Eqs. Ž4.4. and Ž2.3. there follows the total differential of the
chemical potential of water as

Therefore,

may be denoted as dilution coefficient of brine; it describes the change of the chemical potential of water d mW
Žand therefore the brine–ice equilibrium point. if the brine is diluted by ydS at constant temperature and
pressure. Quantitatively, D depends only very weakly on pressure Žsee Fig. 3a,b.. In the approximation of ideal
solution theory we find D s NS k B T, which is independent of pressure and salinity Žsee Eq. Ž4.28. for NS and
k B ..

Fig. 8. Ža. Thermal expansion coefficient of sea ice ŽTEC.. Shown is the thermal expansion coefficient of sea ice g in ppmrmK at
atmospheric pressure multiplied by brine salinity S in PSU and divided by the liquid fraction w s srS in order to get a finite intercept in the
limit of infinite dilution S s 0. As abscissa the square root of brine salinity is used, corresponding temperatures are plotted below. The solid
lines are values computed after Eq. Ž4.19. for several sea ice salinities s as indicated. The dotted line is the contribution of the melting
expansion coefficient g M , indicated as S) MEC, after Eq. Ž4.25.. At lower temperatures Žhigher brine salinities., g becomes positive.
Measurements of Malmgren Ž1927. clearly show the changing signs of g , too, but refer to lower temperatures between y3.5 and y388C.
Žb. Melting expansion coefficient ŽMEC.. Melting expansion coefficient of sea ice g M in ppmrmK after Eq. Ž4.25. is multiplied by brine
salinity S to obtain a finite intercept at S s 0. As abscissa the square root of brine salinity S in PSU is used. The additional freezing
temperature scale is valid for p s 0 only. Curves are computed at freezing temperatures t Ž S, p . and pressures p s 0, 5 and 10 MPa.

Now we can finally write for Eq. Ž4.8., inserting ESrE x after Eq. Ž4.10.
E FrE x s Ž 1 y w . Ž E F IrE x . q w  Ž E F B rE x . y M w F x P M w E GrE x x P SrD 4 Ž 4.13 .
Note that in this expression only the liquid fraction w s srS depends on sea ice salinity s while all other
terms depend merely on temperature and pressure Žexplicitly and via brine salinity SŽ t, p ... Using Eq. Ž4.13.
successively with x s t and p, and F s G, s and V, we obtain the following results.

Ž2.6.. of three variables, mB Ž S,t, p ., taken only on the ‘brine salinity surface’ SŽ t, p . in the three dimensional
S–t–p space, which itself is a solution of a nonlinear algebraic Eq. Ž4.3.. If one could construct a simple
regression polynomial for m Ž t, p ., all thermodynamic properties would be easily computed in terms of partial
derivatives of GŽ s,t, p ..
Unfortunately, however, m Ž t, p . can be expressed as a polynomial in t and p in special cases only, while in
general one cannot avoid the effort of using the relation m Ž t, p . s mB Ž SŽ t, p .,t, p ., which requires the
computation of both relative chemical potential mB Ž S,t, p . s ŽEG B rES . of seawater together with the brine
salinity formula S s SŽ t, p .. The reason is the relatively complicated mathematical dependence of chemical
potential mB Ž S,t, p . and the freezing point t Ž S, p . on salinity, especially for low concentrations. We briefly
discuss now this functional dependence of m on t and p in the limiting case of small salinity. ŽSea ice with low
salinity is, e.g., formed in polar summers to significant amounts. When ice melts at the surface, for instance, the
water runs down through holes and freezes again in the cold seawater below 08C, Malmgren, 1927..

G 0 is the Gibbs free energy of water, G 1 s NS k B ŽT o q t ., known from Planck’s ideal solution theory, is
independent of pressure, G 2 is the Gibbs free energy per salt particle at infinite dilution, G 3 is the

various interactions between the salt particles like finite ion size, etc. ŽCompare Eq. Ž4.28. for NS , k B , T o ..

The melting point of fresh water is given by G 0 Ž t, p . y G I Ž t, p ., where the above logarithm term diverges at
the phase transition. Any series expansion of the logarithm argument around t s 0 or p s 0 or both will
necessarily move this divergence and therefore virtually displace the melting point.
In the special case of small salinity, pressure, and temperature lowering these expressions take the explicit

as, e.g., Eq. Ž4.24., V M s DŽESrEp . t . If precision or consistency are essential, we recommend to use the full
mathematical expressions.
With two examples, we give a recipe how this bunch of formulas may be used.
Given temperature t and pressure p, one first computes brine salinity S by either Eqs. Ž5.7. and Ž5.9. or by
solving Eq. Ž4.3. numerically. Then, with sea ice salinity s, the liquid mass fraction w s srS of sea ice is
obtained.
If we want to know sea ice density, we calculate specific brine volume V B Ž S,t, p . by Eq. Ž5.10. or by the
pressure derivative EG B rE p of Eq. Ž2.1.. We find specific ice volume V I Ž t, p . from the pressure derivative
EG IrE p of Eq. Ž3.9.. Now we have r s 1rV by means of Eq. Ž4.16..
If we want to know the thermal expansion coefficient, we need DŽ S,t, p . s SŽE 2 G B rES 2 . as second salinity
derivative of Eq. Ž2.1. or from Eq. Ž5.14., H M Ž S,t, p . from Eq. Ž4.24. or Eq. Ž5.15. and VM Ž S,t, p . from Eq.
Ž4.24. or Eq. Ž5.16.. Together with brine salinity V B and absolute temperature T s T o q t, g M is computed
after Eq. Ž4.25.. Next, g B Ž S,t, p . is calculated by Eq. Ž5.12. or by second t–p derivative of Eq. Ž2.1., g I Ž t, p . is
given by second t–p derivative of Eq. Ž3.9., and now Eq. Ž4.21. can be used for the final result.

6. Discussion

The most compact and consistent description of thermodynamic equilibrium properties of any substance is
the construction of one of its thermodynamic potential functions expressed in suitable ‘natural’ independent
variables. We have carried out this task for air-free sea ice with brine salinities up to 40 PSU and pressures up to
10 MPa on the base of data available from the literature. This way theory permits access to various quantities
that only partially or even not yet have been subject to experimental investigations.
There is a number of aspects where the present potential function could be improved in future.
Ži. Ice data knowledge is weak concerning especially thermal expansion and compressibility. Adiabatic and
isothermal compressibility data differ significantly more than thermodynamics predicts.
Žii. Seawater Žbrine. thermodynamics is known quantitatively only up to 40 PSU. For the description of sea
ice down to y8.28C, brine properties up to saturation are required.
Žiii. Seawater thermodynamics is based on only few data below 08C, namely freezing points at one
atmosphere and maximum density temperatures, but no direct measurements of densities, heat capacities or
sound speeds. The corresponding extrapolation error is probably acceptable here because seawater density is

known within some ppm, ice density however is uncertain within 1000 ppm, and at lower temperatures sea ice
properties are dominated by its solid fraction.
Živ. For various quantities computed in this paper there is no experimental verification known to the authors
by now.
Although sea ice properties discussed in the literature have often been derived under crude approximations
like an empirical ideal solution treatment of brine, the results often do fairly agree with ours Žcompare, e.g., heat
capacity or latent heat.. The most crucial point in these approximations is to our opinion a precise determination
of the liquidrsolid fraction of sea ice and therefore the freezing pointr brine salinity. A tiny temperature error
may cause a substantial amount of ice to melt or water to freeze, altering coefficients like heat capacity
essentially this way. The theoretical slope of the freezing point depression curve ŽRaoult’s law. is not the best
choice even though the virtually linear dependence of t on S is very suggestive; a simple polynomial like the
UNESCO freezing point formula is recommended for use instead.
Quantitative descriptions given here do not cover brine salinities above 40 PSU and are therefore restricted to
a relatively narrow temperature window, which is the most important for cold regions oceanography, however.
While the present paper is based on experimental data only, future extensions to lower temperatures may
possibly be made using suitable numerical models of aqueous solutions ŽSpencer et al., 1990; Marion and Grant,

1994; Mironenko et al., 1997.. Further, bubbles, cracks, aging phenomena, precipitated solid salt or other
impurities, and gas solutionrdissolution processes were excluded from the present paper, but partly treated by
other studies. Transport coefficients like heat conduction are principally beyond the scope of equilibrium
thermodynamics and have to be described theoretically by Onsager coefficients in the framework of linear
irreversible thermodynamics. Extensive further theoretical and laboratory work is needed for a more comprehen-
sive knowledge of sea ice.
