Velocity of radio waves in glaciers as an indicator of their hydrothermal state, structure and regime
Abstract The results of measurements of radio-wave velocities (RWV) by wide-angle reflection (WAR) methods in the temperate Abramov Glacier in the Alai Mountain Ridge and the “two-layered” sub-polar Fridtjovbreen and Hansbreen on Svalbard using a low-frequency (2–13 MHz) radar are considered and dis...
