Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation of the buoyancy driven flow adjacent to and below a horizontal ice surface melting in cold water at near oceanic salinity are presented. This melting configuration is characteristic of circumstances encountered by sea ice, for example, by new ice and, also, on the bottom of tabular ice floes. -from Authors
