LONG-DISTANCE AIRBORNE GLACIAL SOUNDING.
Experiments during the summer of 1966 established the feasibility of using airborne 30 MHz vertical incidence radar for sounding the thickness of polar ice sheets over long-range traverses. Four flights across Greenland each averaging 8 hours of flight time and approximately 2400 km. in length were...
