Electromagnetic-inductive measurements for the undeformed and deformed sea-ice and snow

Indirect ice and snow thickness measurements were carried out for the winter and spring Antarctic sea ice by using the electromagnetic-inductive (EMI) device on the East Antarctic pack ice area. This study investigated the effect of saline slush snow layer over the sea ice and seawater-filled gap to...

Description
Summary:Indirect ice and snow thickness measurements were carried out for the winter and spring Antarctic sea ice by using the electromagnetic-inductive (EMI) device on the East Antarctic pack ice area. This study investigated the effect of saline slush snow layer over the sea ice and seawater-filled gap to the snow and sea ice thickness measured by EMI. A result shows underestimations of EMI thickness, which might be caused by high conductive seawater-filled gaps between ice floes, appeared on thicker ice over 3.5 m. This study improved the validity of
