Radio Echo Sounding of the Greenland Inland Ice
Radio echo sounding has been used for a number of years in the exploration of polar ice such as the inland ice in Greenland and Antarc tica. By means of this technique a number of important glaciological and geophysical parameters may be deter mined. Examples are ice thickness, bedrock topography and structure, stratification patterns which are used for climate and flow patterns studies, and ...
متن کاملInstrwnents and Methods Miniature high-power illlpulse transmitter for radio-echo sounding
We have developed a miniature high-power impulse transmitter for radio-echo sounding of glaciers. It features two synchronous second break-down pulse generators operating in a differential configuration. Specifications include bipolar 550 V pulses having rise times less than 2 ns, 512 Hz repetition rate, 180 mA at 10-14 V d.c. operating power, 5 mA standby current and maximum dimension of 12 cm...
متن کاملAtmosphere sounding using GPS radio occultation
Introduction On July 17, 1995 the U.S. Air Force announced “ .. that today the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation has met all requirements for Full Operational Capability”. Apart from precise positioning GPS signals also can be used to derive characteristic properties of the propagation medium (neutral atmosphere and ionosphere). Onboard the Low-Earth-Orbiting MICROLAB-1 sa...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Glacier Mass Balance and Sar Backscatter on Svartisen, Norway
Mass-balance measurements describe the difference between accumulation and ablation and therefore the annual climate response of a glacier. Such measurements are the standard observation of glacier ‘health’ and when coupled with frontal, area or volume observations can describe the dynamic response of a glacier to climate over longer time scales. Mass balance measurements are made in situ and a...
متن کاملBalloon - Borne Radio Altimeter
This work describes an accurate pulse radar altimeter which is simple and light enough to be carried aloft by a regular sounding balloon. The altimeter uses a single superregenerative stage serving as both the receiver and the transmitter. This stage is used in a feedback system in such a way that the period between transmitted pulses is a measure of altitude. The relatively slow rate of change...
