Remote Detection Of A Freshwater Pool Off The Sagavanirktok River Delta, Alaska
A recent paper by Kovacs (1978) discussed the findings of a study in which an impulse radar sounding system was used to detect water under ice-covered lakes on the North Slope of Alaska. The study revealed that the radar system could be used to determine, from the ice surface or from a helicopter, l...
