  "term": "Brine slush",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Slush that cannot quite turn to ice because of its high salt content, found most often between young sea ice and a fluffy cover of recent snow. It forms when a fall of snow melts the salt crust on the ice and leaves a layer of brine beneath the snow. A salt crust starts to form on young ice once the ice is about 2 inches thick.",
