摘要：This study is intended to provide a parameter identification method to determine the salinity of sea ice using temperature and thickness measurements. This method is particularly effective when field data are sparse and unsatisfactory due to the difficulties associated with fieldwork, especially during the polar winter. The main idea of the method is described. The salinity profile is calculated by the temperature and thickness observations, which were measured at Nella Fjord around Zhongshan Station, Antarctica during the polar night time by the 22nd Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition. Another simulation for temperature profiles during a different measurement period is performed. Results show that better simulations of the salinity and temperature distributions are possible with the estimated parameters than with Eicken's and THESCI's methods. This method will help people to understand the salinity evolution of sea ice more thoroughly.
