Description
Summary:Processed GNSS data of six stations at a basal melt channel of the southern Filchner Ice Shelf, Antarctica near the Support Force Glacier between 2015 and 2017. Five short-period GPS were located at a cross-section of the channel, located east outside the channel (GPS_oe), at the eastern steepest flank of the surface depression (GPS_se), within the channel at the lowest surface depression (GPS_low), at the western steepest flank (GPS_sw) and west outside the channel (GPS_we). All five GPS operated for 9 to 13 days with a measuring interval of 15 seconds (GPS_oe, GPS_se, GPS_sw, GPS_low) or 1 second (GPS_ow). The long-period GPS (GPS_se_long) operated at the steepest eastern flank of the channel for 103 days with a measuring interval of 15 seconds. The short-period GPS were operated parallel to an autonomous phase-sensitive radar (ApRES, see doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.932413) intended to measure basal melt rates. The GNSS data were processed using the Waypoint GravNav 8.8 processing software. We applied kinematic ... : Data were measured in the field by Daniel Steinhage and Angelika Humbert. Data processing was done by Veit Helm and Ole Zeising. This dataset has been planned by Angelika Humbert as part of the Filchner Ice Shelf Project (FISP).
