IO in Antarctica: relation <strong>to</strong> sea ice concentrations<br />

Science 282, 2238 (1998), K. M. Golden, et al. :<br />

The Percolation Phase Transition in <strong>Sea</strong> <strong>Ice</strong><br />

“For temperatures warmer than Tc [about -5°C],<br />

brine carrying heat <strong>and</strong> nutrients can move<br />

through <strong>the</strong> ice, whereas for colder temperatures<br />

<strong>the</strong> ice is impermeable.”<br />

• Biogenic release of iodine species is probable<br />

• <strong>Sea</strong> ice more porous in later spring time: contact<br />

between species below sea ice <strong>and</strong> air above<br />

• Strong biological productivity in cold Antarctic waters<br />
