ANT 2001/02: AWI airborne Radio-Echo Sounding data over western DML, Jutulstraumen Glacier grounding line and the EDML ice core site (EPICA, SEAL, and VISA projects)

DOI

This dataset contains airborne radar data acquired using the AWI EMR system during the Antarctic season of 2001/02. The profiles extend across the western Dronning Maud Land along the grounding line of the Jutulstraumen Glacier, and over the EDML ice core site. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.

Project PI (VISA): Wilfried Jokat (AWI)Project PI (REST): Heinrich Miller (AWI)Contact persons for AWI Radio-echo sounding data: Daniel Steinhage (daniel.steinhage@awi.de), Veit Helm (veit.helm@awi.de), Olaf Eisen (olaf.eisen@awi.de)---- The netCDF files contain the following variables:altitude: Platform altitude (WGS84) in metersbed_elevation: Bed elevation for each trace (without applying a firn correction and permitivity of ice: 3.15) in metersbed_pick: picked Bed location for each trace, expressed as twt in seconds from time zerodata: Radar data (Values in dBm after DC conversion)data_agc: Scaled radar data using automatic gain control (AGC)distance: Along-track distance in metersice_thickness: Ice thickness for each trace (without applying a firn correction and permitivity of ice: 3.15) in meterslat: Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)lon: Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)range: Range between sensor and surface in metersspacing: Along-track trace to trace spacing in meterssurface: Surface elevation derived from radar (WGS84) in meterssurface_pick: Picked surface reflection in two-way travel time in secondstime: Seconds of daytwt: Two-way travel time (twt) in seconds--The KML files are in EPSG:4326, and the quicklook images show the AGC product of the radargram.
