For modeling, a three-dimensional, full-physics, heterogeneous model is used to investigate the electromagnetic field response of several sea ice cases.

Since these types of instruments are commonly used to measure conductivity in sea ice environments, historical calibration routines are only valid for one instrument at a time.
