Radar Depth Sounder echograms and ice thickness, Greenland, 2008-2016
To better understand processes affecting the ice sheets and to supply boundary condition information into ice sheet models and ice thickness for other ice sheet analysis, the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) has designed, developed, and deployed radar depth sounders in Greenland.
