Airborne radar soundings of internal reflection layers were collected across the Pine Island (PIG) catchment area, West Antarctica, aboard the Polar 5 aircraft between 01 and 03 Dec 2014. An isochronal reflection layer was traced for a total distance of 2367 km to determine annual mean surface mass...
