About half of the air-hydrate crystals were observed to be located on the grain boundaries; their volume concentrations were more than (10)^3 times larger than dust concentration (J. R. PETIT et al., Nature, 326,62,1990). The presence of air-hydrate crystals on grain boundary was considered to reduce effectively the ice grain growth rate. However, air-hydrate crystals did not result in marked changes in grain size associated with climate transitions.}, pages = {7--13}, title = {Effects of air-hydrate crystals on ice grain growth}, volume = {7}, year = {1993} }
