A device for in-situ layer-by-layer measurements of the physical properties of an ice pack

Аннотация

A device designed for making microholes in ice packs by steaming along with in-situ determination of the physical properties of ice and collection of liquid samples is described. The total intensity of the light that is scattered in the bulk of the ice mass is reflected from the microhole wall surface, as well as resistivity variations of the liquid formed at the bottom of the microhole during the steaming, are measured in the process of deepening the hole.
