Electromagnetic measurements of combined sea-ice thickness and snow depth were performed on the landfast sea ice of Atka Bay, Antarctica.The data were obtained by an EM31 (Geonics) mounted in a kayak and pulled behind a snowmobile along a predefined transect.The EM31 was operated in Vertical CoPlana...
