MELTING PERCEOTAGES OF WINTER ICE AND AGE OF POIAR ICE 

 FOR SUMlffiR SURFACE COVERAGE OF 95 PERCENT 



Assxuning a loss of 10 percent by current outflow, the melting 

 percentages of the winter ice and the average age of the polar 

 ice are given for dirferent percentages of areal melting of 

 polar ice.
