Ground-based electromagnetic induction (EM) measurements of land-fast sea ice and sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) thickness distributions were carried out in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica in late spring (November 1-19) of 2018. Repeated west to east EM transects were carried out across McMurdo Sound along...
