Electromagnetic measurement of sea ice thickness on ice stations during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

We observed total thickness (snow thickness + ice thickness) of sea-ice floes along 100m transects using an electromagnetic (EM) sensor.


The data were read from the EM and written by hand into a log book as we moved along the transect. They were then transferred into an Excel spreadsheet.


The parameters included are:

- distance along transect

- conductivity (vertical)

- conductivity (horizontal)

- total thickness (derived from vertical and horizontal conductivities)
