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 کاملBedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass Conservation
Greenland's bed topography is a primary control on ice flow, grounding line migration, calving dynamics, and subglacial drainage. Moreover, fjord bathymetry regulates the penetration of warm Atlantic water (AW) that rapidly melts and undercuts Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers. Here we present a new compilation of Greenland bed topography that assimilates seafloor bathymetry and ice thick...
متن کاملA New Coherent Radar for Ice Sounding in Greenland
This paper will discuss a new multifrequency dual channel coherent radar depth sounder for sounding ice. This sounder is unique, since it is a fully coherent chirp radar designed to operate at low (1,500ft) as well as high altitudes (30,000ft). The dynamic range of the radar is sufficient for simultaneously imaging both the top and bottom returns from ice without the need for data blanking or S...
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...
