| Description: | CRREL Report Partial Abstract: During the austral summers of 1976-77 and 1978-79, several ice cores were taken from the McMurdo Ice Shelf brine zone to investigate its thermal, physical and chemical properties. This brine zone consists of a series of superimposed brine layers (waves) that originate at the seaward edge of the ice shelf and migrate at various rates, depending upon their age and position in the ice shelf. NOTE: The remainder of the abstract contained chemical equations that are difficult for this system to render. The downloaded file will contain those equations. |
