Footprint Size of a Helicopter-Borne Electromagnetic Induction Sounding System Versus Antenna Altitude
Helicopter-towed electromagnetic induction sounding systems have recently been used for the remote measurement of sea-ice thickness and shallow sea bathymetry. An inherent aspect of this sensing technology is the large area, the footprint, over which an individual sounding is made. This report gives...
