| Summary: | This dataset contains the ice thickness data recorded by ground-based radio echo sounding experiment carried out along a traverse route from Dome Fuji, the second highest dome in East Antarctica, to the JASE Meeting point along the ice sheet ridge. The data were recorded in the joint Japanese-Swedish JASE traverse survey by NIPR (the 48th and 49th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE48 and JARE49)) and Stockholm University. PIs of the joint survey are Shuji Fujita (NIPR, Japan) and Per Holmlund (Stockholm University, Sweden). JARE used a pulse-modulated VHF radar sounder with a peak transmission power of 1 kW, a center frequency of 179 MHz and a transmitter pulse width of 500 ns. Position of sites is accurate (~20 m) using continuous GPS measurements. Fujita et al. (2011) and Fujita et al. (2012) are the original papers for the data. Later, based on validation by Tsutaki et al. (2021), a correction (+37 m) was applied to all the data. Thickness data with a number "-9999" means that bed echo could not ... |
