Using radar-sounding data to identify the distribution and sources of subglacial water: application to Dome C, East Antarctica

ABSTRACT. Basal radar reflectivity is the most important measurement for the detection of subglacial water. However, dielectric loss in the overlying ice column complicates the determination of basal reflectivity. Dielectric attenuation is a function of ice temperature and impurity concentration. Te...
