Remote Detection of Water Under Ice-covered Lakes on the North Slope of Alaska
Results from using an impulse radar sounding system on the North Slope of Alaska to detect the existence of water under lake ice are presented. It was found that both lake ice thickness and depth of water under the ice could be determined when the radar antenna was either on the ice surface or airbo...
