Instruments and Methods: An Automatic Gauge for Measuring Sea-Ice Thickness

Abstract A device is described which automatically measures the thickness of a floating ice cover at regular or any desired times and allows the result to be printed together with the time on a shore-based recorder. This instrument has been proven by a year’s operation near Mawson, Antarctica.
