A comprehensive dataset for the thermal conductivity of ice Ih for application to planetary ice shells.

ABSTRACT: Contemporary models representing the thermal conductivity of ice Ih as a function of temperature are based on data from published experiments that span over a century. Each model is derived using specific datasets with distinct experimental setups, temperature ranges, and uncertainties. Model errors introduced by inaccurate digitization and biased datapoints are challenging to trace due to a lack of transparency of the primary data. This dataset is a collection of published thermal conductivity data for ice Ih, including both tabulated and digitized data, presented in the original units. Specific samples or pressure conditions are noted where applicable. The dataset also includes a survey of published thermal conductivity models, providing the valid temperature range, accuracy and uncertai
