Abstract
Discrete electromagnetic pulses have been recorded by scouring the sur face of ice samples manufactured with significantly different concentr ations of NaCl. Rise and fall times are statistically distinct and the higher the conductivity, the shorter the times recorded. As all other conditions were constant, it is concluded that EME signals are conduc tivity dependent. This supports the charge separation mechanism postul ated for EME generation in rock and ice.
