An Investigation of Frazil and Anchor Ice: Formation, Properties, Evolution and Dynamics.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was the development of a basic scientific understanding of frazil and anchor ice including their formation, growth, characteristics, and evolution in form and dynamics and their role in the development of the initial ice cover on a river. Interpretation of these data were directed toward developing an understanding of the physics of freeze-up as it involves frazil and anchor ice. (Author).
