The formation of an ice layer at the base of to dissipate the latent heat released by the reHigh Arctic snowpacks is due to a refreezing freezing process, but through such latent heat of the meltwater percolating to the snow- transfer the warming of the active layer is acground interface. A cold substrate is required celerated.
