Abstract
Nuclear magnetic properties of hydrogen are used for the quantitative analysis of the water content of sea ice from 0° C. to −40° C. The data on water content are utilized to calculate the brine volume and brine weight content of the samples. Over a range of water contents of 2% to 96% the standard deviation of the nuclear magnetic resonance data from chemical analysis data is ±0.6%, An estimate of water content in a sample of sea ice at −70° C. is given, and the value of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements for field studies is discussed.Keywords
