Abstract

The paper reviews and discusses data and information on the thermophysical properties of ice, snow, and sea ice. These properties include thermal conductivity, specific heat, density, thermal diffusivity, latent heat of fusion, thermal expansion, and absorption coefficient. The available data are shown graphically for convenience in conjunction with the recommended correlation equations.
