摘要
Results of impulse radar studies of sea ice near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, show that where there is a preferred current direction under the ice cover, the crystal structure of the ice becomes highly ordered. This includes a crystal structure with a preferred horizontal c axis that is oriented parallel with the local current. It was also found that the frequency dispersion of anisotropic sea ice varies in the horizontal plane. In addition, it was found that the frequency dispersion is related to the average bulk brine volume of the ice but that the bulk dielectric constant of the ice, as determined from impulse travel time, shows little correlation with the coefficient of anisotropy.-from Authors
