USING VIDEO PULSE SEQUENCING FOR SOUNDING SEA ICE

The report contains discussion of a method of sounding sea ice by means of a sequence of video pulses of nanosecond duration with a frequency of recurrence of the order of several tens of megahertz. On the basis of the known electrical characteristics of sea ice, obtained in laboratory conditions, the shapes of signals reflected from the surfaces of various thickness and salinity are calculated. The results of a full-scale experiment are discussed.
