The Study of the COF Feature in the Antarctic Ice Sheet Based on 3‐D Anisotropy FDTD Method
Abstract The application of RES technology is the most important method for the study of inner structure on the Antarctic ice sheet. The multi‐polarization radar method developed in recent years can deduce the feature and changing rule of COF in the ice sheet according to the variation of the reflec...
