NSIDC-0496 Matsuoka, K. 20110830 Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/nsidc-0496.html http://dx.doi.org/10.7265/N5TH8JNG This dataset contains ground-based, co-polarized radar data collected using pulse-modulated 60 MHz and 179 MHz radar at 19 sites around a deep ice coring site near the Ross and Amundsen flow divide of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS Divide). At each site, the radar data were collected at 12 orientations of the radar polarization plane for three radar pulse widths: 250 nsec, 500 nsec, and 1000 nsec. Useful signals were received from depths roughly between 200 m and 2000 m. Ice flow velocities and strain configurations were measured at most of these radar survey sites, and these ice motion data are also provided at NSIDC (GPS-Measured Ice Velocities and Strain Data from the Ross and Amundsen Sea Ice Flow Divide, West Antarctica). Data are available via FTP in MATLAB (.mat) format. scientific research Matsuoka, K. 20110830 Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/docs/agdc/nsidc0496_matsuoka/index.html 20051101 20070131 publication date Complete Unknown -115.457 -109.128 -78.7489 -79.6401 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Ice Sheets EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Snow/Ice EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Radar > Radar Imagery EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glacier Topography/Ice Sheet Topography EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Ice Sheets EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Snow/Ice None NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords RADAR > Radio Detection and Ranging NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Platform Keywords FIELD INVESTIGATION ISO 19115 Topic Categories climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere None Antarctica Ice Penetrating Radar Ice Sheet Radar Ross-Amundsen Divide West Antarctica NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords Continent > Antarctica Geographic Region > Polar 6 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Ice Sheets NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Cryosphere > Snow/Ice NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Radar > Radar Imagery NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Glacier Topography/Ice Sheet Topography NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Glaciers/Ice Sheets > Ice Sheets NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Terrestrial Hydrosphere > Snow/Ice None None NSIDC User Services National Snow and Ice Data Center mailing
