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 />
