Internal layering detected by a microwave ice-radar in the Arctic ice cap (scientific paper)
Radar observations were carried out on the Agassiz ice cap in Canadian arctic territory using a newly developed high resolution ice-radar. The radar employed a microwave frequency (L-band) in order to realize resolution of less than 1m. Actual range resolution of the radar is about 63cm in ice. The...
