The total snow and ice thickness (distance from the snow surface to the ice-ocean interface) was measured by the electromagnetic induction (EM) method. On MOSAiC transects, we used a broad-band EM instrument sensor (GEM-2 by Geophex Ltd) towed on a small sled (Hunkeler et al, 2015; Hunkeler et al, 2...
