The Physics of Ice: Some Fundamentals of Planetary Glaciology

  • Chapter
Ices in the Solar System

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 156))

Abstract

Selected properties of ice, particularly those that may be useful for remote sensing in the planetary system or understanding the behavior of ice there, or that will help to predict properties that planetary scientists need, are reviewed. Among them are the phase diagram, including a new easy transformation of ice Ih at 77 K near the extrapolated melting line, the microwave spectrum of ice Ih as determined from an extrapolation of the far-infrared spectrum and used to determine the thickness of ice in Saturn’s rings, and the use of halos to detect crystals of hexagonal and cubic ice. Many properties of ice that are needed for planetary studies may need to be calculated from molecular potential functions. These can be tested by predicting the energies of the phases of ice at zero temperature, which can be evaluated from experimental measurements.
