Earth Potential Electrodes in Permafrost and Tundra
Introduction : During the past two years, the authors installed a number of electrodes in the permafrost and tundra area of Point Barrow to obtain earth potential data. As ground temperatures decreased during the winter, the resistances of the first set of electrodes increased by several orders of m...
