| Summary: | research radar system, and Depth-Sounder the high linearity power (MCoRDS) system was amplifer techniques that developed by the Center enable accurate measure- for Remote Sensing of Ice ment of ice thickness Sheets (CReSIS) at the University of Kansas to map the thickness and underlying bed elevation for glaciers in Antarctica on the NASA Operation Ice Bridge (OIB) mission. Scientists believe that the lubricating effect of liquid water at the bed-ice interface will significantly increase the glacial flow resulting in more ice being discharged into the ocean. Bed elevation that is below sea level is particularly susceptible to this effect. Therefore, to better |
