These radar depth sounders are designed to use pulse compression techniques and coherent integration to obtain the high sensitivity required to measure the thickness of more than 4 km of cold ice. These systems are used to collect radar data over the interior and margins of the ice sheet and several outlet glaciers. Both radar systems are operated on the NASA P-3B aircraft equipped with GPS receivers. Radar data are tagged with GPS-derived location information and are collected in conjunction with laser altimeter measurements. All data collected from 1993 to 2014 have been processed, and ice thickness was derived with an accuracy of ± 10 m over 90 percent of the flight lines flown as a part of the PARCA initiative. Radar echo grams and derived ice thickness data are available via FTP.https://nsidc.org/data/NSIDC-0625/versions/1GET DATAftp://data.cresis.ku.edu/data/rds/Get External DataPROJECT HOME PAGEhttps://data.cresis.ku.edu/#RDSCReSIS RADAR Data Products Web SiteCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92015-01-262023-05-23NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCFull Dataset CitationPlease contact the data provider for the citation for these data.NSIDCRetiredfalse
