Ice thickness and bed elevation maps derived from radar and GPS profiles over three ice rises (Blåskimen Island, Kupol Ciolkovskogo and Kupol Moskovskij) in Western Dronning Maud Land
This dataset provides ice thickness calculated using deep-sounding (2 MHz antenna frequency) radar profiles over three ice rises Blåskimen Island, Kupol Ciolkovskogo and Kupol Moskovskij, Fimbul Ice Shelf, western Dronning Maud land. Ice thickness was estimated by converting the two way travel time...
