Description
Summary:This dataset contains the ice thickness data recorded by radio echo sounding experiment carried out at Dome Fuji, the second highest dome in East Antarctica, and along a 130 - km - long traverse line from the dome to the east 130 km point, East Antarctica. The data was recorded by the 37th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE37) using a pulse-modulated VHF radar sounder with a peak transmission power of 1kW, a center frequency of 179 MHz and a transmitter pulse width of 250 or 60 ns. The data were edited every 1/3 km along the traverse line. Fujita et al.(1999) is the original paper for the data. Later, based on validation byTsutaki et al. (2021), a correction (-1 m) was applied to all of the data. ...
