摘要

In the work, we proposed a new method to monitor the icing behavior. To this end, a sensor system based on the multi-electrode capacitance is used to measure the ice thickness in both lab and field investigations. It is demonstrated that such a system shows very promising applications for measurements of the ice thickness of river and sea. The experimental results can provide reliable data for studies of the ice growth. In the practice, the designed and manufactured apparatus can present the ice cap of sea. The subsequent quantitative analyses on the data indicate the reliability and accuracy of the apparatus for monitoring sea ice.
