Dense salt water expelled as sea ice freezes

In oceanography, brine is the cold, very salty water left behind when seawater freezes: the forming ice crystals exclude salt, so the residual liquid grows denser and either sinks or is trapped in channels within the ice, a process called brine rejection that helps drive deep-ocean circulation. Notz and Worster's Desalination processes of sea ice revisited quantifies how this brine drains from growing ice. It is the same concentrated salt solution, here produced and expelled by freezing.[1]

Unit
The salinity and volume of the expelled residual solution
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Tracked by brine salinity, the brine-volume fraction within the ice, and drainage flux
