Electrical conductivity of sea ice: a comparison of in-situ and laboratory measurements

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2381 See the link below for public details on this project.

---- Public Summary from Project ---- This project will compare sea ice electrical conductivities measured in-situ over lateral scales of tens of metres with those determined by small-scale laboratory measurements on core samples. These measurements will be used to determine appropriate bulk sea ice conductivities for interpretation of sea ice thickness from electromagnetic sounding data.

Data collection for this project took place on voyage 1 of the Aurora Australis in the 2003/2004 season.
