dc.descriptionIntroduction : During the past two years, the authors installed a number of electrodes in the permafrost and tundra area of Point Barrow to obtain earth potential data. As ground temperatures decreased during the winter, the resistances of the first set of electrodes increased by several orders of magnitude and thus became useless. A second set of electrodes, with sodium chloride incorporated in the fill, proved entirely adequate for recording earth potentials. The installations and procedure for determining electrode resistances are described herein. Electrode resistance data versus time and ground temperatures are also presented.en_US
