In the 1986-87 austral summer, ice thickness measurements using a new designed airborne radio echo sounding system were carried out in the Shirase Glacier drainage basin and Roi Baudouin lce Shelf, Princess Ragnhild Coast, East Antarctica. The accurate determination of ice thickness during the fligh...
