RADAR ICE THICKNESS PROFILES NORTHWEST GREENLAND.
In June and July of 1964, extensive field trials of radar ice sounding equipment were held on the ice sheet in northwest Greenland. The results, in the form of profiles over 350 km of trail, made from seismic depth measurements along the Tuto-Century trail and Project 42 trails provide a good repres...
