Measured electrical properties of snow and glacial ice

Abstract

The electrical proper tie;:; of s now an d glacial ice n ear 0 C h ave been observed over the frequ ency range from 20 cycles per seco nd to 200 kil ocycles per seco nd . In general , the co ndu ctiv ity of s now an d glacial icc is fo und to be much hig her tha n t hat fOI' purc ice. T hi s is particularly so at fr equ encies below 2 kilocycles per second.
