METHOD FOR MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF AN ICE SHEET |
| 摘要 |
<p>A method for measuring the thickness of an ice sheet is disclosed. The resistance of an electric circuit embedded in an ice sheet floating at the surface of a body of water is measured. A relationship between the measured electric resistance and the ice sheet thickness is possible because sea ice has a much larger resistance than sea water and, therefore, acts as an insulator. Thus, the resistance of the circuit is altered by the vertical location of the water's surface on the circuit.</p> |
