The roughness calculation of the basal boundary for the ice-sounding data collected at Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL)

In this paper, we calculated the roughness of the basal boundary collected at Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL) to evaluate the topographic structure via the ice-sounding data collected during 32nd and 33rd Chinese Antarctic Research Expeditions (CHINARE 32 and 33). The calculation is achieved by a two-...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we calculated the roughness of the basal boundary collected at Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL) to evaluate the topographic structure via the ice-sounding data collected during 32nd and 33rd Chinese Antarctic Research Expeditions (CHINARE 32 and 33). The calculation is achieved by a two-parameter roughness index method, which could differentiate different classes of subglacial landscape, in particular between erosional and depositional settings. Finally, the calculation results of partial regions of PEL are illustrated to describe the roughness of the detected regions.
