Abstract: In order to understand the sea ice forming processes in different areas in Weddell Sea,27 ice cores were taken from Weddell Sea,Antarctica during September and October,2006. Their crystals are analyzed,and their ice forming processes are described based on the crystals. The crystal photos of two ice cores from ice surface to bottom,and polygonal granular superimposed ice were given,and their corresponding stratigraphy descriptions and vertical profiles of salinity,density and mean grain size are shown in fi...
