We estimated monthly mean basal melt rates in the Lagrangian frame from autonomous phase-sensitive radar (ApRES) measurements at the center of Ekström Ice Shelf, Antarctica (70.82°S, 8.73°W) between April 2020 and December 2022. The data we recorded with a measurement interval of one hour. Basal mel...
