Description
Summary:Abstract. Radio echo surveys to determine the thickness of ice sheets often record reflections from inside the ice. To increase our understanding of these internal reflections we have used synthetic seismogram techniques from early seismic modeling to construct two models. Both models were one-dimensional; the first considered only primary reflections, while the second included both primary and multiple reflections. The inputs to both models were a radio pulse and data from the Greenland Ice core Project (GRIP) core of length 3028 m. The ice core data was a profile of the high frequency conductivity, calculated from dielectric profile (DEP) 2 1 2
