Ice melting in salty water: layering and non-monotonic dependence on the mean salinity
Rui Yang, Christopher J. Howland, Hao-Ran Liu +2
The presence of salt in ocean water strongly affects the melt rate and the shape evolution of ice, both of utmost relevance in geophysical and ocean flow and thus for the climate.…
