Ice mass balance buoy
text:
An ice mass balance buoy (IMB) allows scientists studying sea ice to measure its temperature and the evolution of its interfaces remotely. The autonomous mass balance buoys usually consist of a data controller module and a temperature string. Some ice mass balance buoys also include acoustic sounders above and below ice measuring the positions of the snow-ice and ice-water interfaces.
