The complex-dielectric constant of sea ice at frequencies in the range 0.1–40 GHz

Abstract

A comprehensive and unique set of measurements of the complex-dielectric constant of sea ice, performed at several frequencies in the range 0.1–7.5 GHz, is described. In addition, a brief survey of previously published results is given and a set of dielectric models describing the complex-dielectric behavior of sea ice, over the frequency range 0.1–40 GHz, is discussed.
