Importance of seasonal and annual layers in controlling backscatter to radar altimeters across the percolation zone of an ice sheet, Geophys
[1] Radar altimeters are one of the main tools for measuring elevation changes across the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and larger ice caps. A ground-based radar was deployed in autumn 2004 and spring 2006 in the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This radar is a high bandwidth system...
