Abstract: Description of monitoring methods for ice Dhenomena in rivers. In some Icelandic rivers, ice problems exist in connection with the operation of Hydroelectric Power Plants. Three types of monitoring equipment were developed, i. e. one for frazil ice discharge, another for ice thickness, and a third one for step-bursts. The monitor for frazil ice is described in some detail and a short mention is made of the other two types. The frazil ice detector and the ice thickness detectors are based on measurements of electrical conductivity changes. The step bursts detector is a pressure-sensitive detector.
