US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition 400 MHz Subsurface Radar Profiles, Version 1
Data set id:
NSIDC-0254
DOI: 10.7265/N58050J7

Overview

This data set includes subsurface radar profiles that were recorded between core sites during the November-December seasons for 1999-2002. Data were collected using an ice-penetrating radar to survey the ice sheet. Ice thickness data are available for a portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This study is part of the U.S. participation in the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (US ITASE).
