Excellent skin depth reference here:

Rudy is a great reference for anything he's chosen to study. An
excellent engineer and scientist.
Ground characteristics are much more significant for vertical
polarization
than for horizontal polarization.
I'll take that one step farther -- VERY significant for vertical
polarized antennas, but hardly matters for horizontal antennas. With
horizontal antennas, what matters most is electrical rigging height
(and, of course, terrain).
