Abstract
Thermal considerations affecting the rate of formation of sea ice are discussed showing the effects of the major variables. The natural solidification process (freezing downward from contact with cold air) is contrasted with freezing of layers cast on the surface of sea ice. Transient heating and cooling of solid ice during and after flooding are analyzed. Procedures for maximizing the rate of ice formation and minimizing base-ice heating are discussed, along with factors affecting brine segregation.Keywords
