A radio echo equipment for depth sounding in polar ice sheets
The glaciological need for depth-sounding in glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves is discussed. A v.h.f. radar, designed specifically to produce continuous profiles of ice depth is described. Some practical problems of field operation are mentioned and there is reference to the results so far obtai...

Summary: | The glaciological need for depth-sounding in glaciers, ice sheets, and ice shelves is discussed. A v.h.f. radar, designed specifically to produce continuous profiles of ice depth is described. Some practical problems of field operation are mentioned and there is reference to the results so far obtained. |
