INTERNATIONAL EXPERIMENTS IN GLACIER SOUNDING, 1963 AND 1964
In 1963 and 1964, under the sponsorship of the United States Army, specialists in ice sounding from various countries assembled at Camp TUTO, Greenland, to evaluate the latest sounding techniques. These international experiments showed that British and American radio-sounding systems gave results of...
