Description
Summary:These transect organized radargrams were collected as part of the Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX) Science and Technology Center (https://www.coldex.org) in the 2023/24 (CXA2) airborne reconnaissance field season. The raw 3 TB data is deposited at the USAP data center at https://doi.org/10.15784/601768. Flight organized data with additional processing by the University of Kansas to remove electromagnetic interference can be found at the Open Polar Radar server (https://www.openpolarradar.org). The science goal was to characterize the ice sheet between Antarctica's Dome A and Amundsen Scott South Pole Station, to locate sites of interest for the drilling of an ice core with ages spanning the mid-Pleistocene. The radar was deployed on Balser C-FMKB, and flown at ranges of up to 800 km from South Pole Station at velocities of 90 m/s and typical altitude above ground of 600 m. Other instruments included a UHF array system provided by the University of Kansas, a gravity meter, a magnetometer, a laser ...
