Melt rates along the ice base and surface in the central basal channel of Petermann Gletscher Ice Shelf, Greenland. Rates were derived from hourly soundings taken by an Autonomous phase-sensitive Radio-Echo Sounder (ApRES) located on the ice surface approximately 16 kilometers (km) seaward of the gr...
