Ice content is normally expressed in one of two ways: 1. on a dry-weight basis (gravimetric), as the ratio of the mass of the ice in a sample to the mass of the dry sample, expressed as a percentage, or 2. on a volume basis (volumetric), as the ratio of the volume of ice in a sample to the volume of the whole sample, expressed as a fraction. The volumetric ice content cannot exceed unity whereas the gravimetric ice content can greatly exceed 100 percent.
