Velocity distribution on ice sheet in Prince Olav Coast, East Antarctica
P(論文) A refraction experiment with a 100-kg charge was carried out in the ice sheet in the Prince Olav Coast, East Antarctica by the 21st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-21) in 1980. Prominent Rayleigh waves were clearly recorded in a distance range of 2 to 8 km from the explosion point...
