Brine volume of sea ice is a function of the salinity and temperature of the ice, and it is related to its strength. This paper gives three equations which can be used to compute the brine volume for three temperature ranges from −0.5° to −22.9°C. A less accurate equation covering the total range is also presented.

ABSTRACT. Brine vo lume of sea ice is a fun ction of the sa lini ty a nd temperature of the ice, a nd it is related to its strength.

A less accu rate equation covering the tota l range is a lso presented.RES UME. Equations pOllr determiner le volume de saumu,.e de la glace de mer entre -0,5° et -22,9°C.
