Studies of Liquid Layers on Ice Surfaces
EMSL Project ID
2077
Abstract
Ice and snow in nature appears to have important roles in the air chemistry of the polar region, and in temperate regions in winter. Much is presumed to occur in thin (somes single molecule thick) films of liquid water onthe ice surface. These films will typically be a fairly concentrated solution of various water impurities rejected from the ice, or formed in equilibrium with soluble atmospheric trace gases. These films will be explored by sensitive magnetic resonance methods, at PNNL
