This dataset contains airborne radar data acquired using the AWI EMR system (Nixdorf et al., 1999) during the Arctic season of 2010. The profiles extend across northwest and central Greenland over NEEM, NorthGRIP, GRIP and GISP2 deep ice core drill sites and along the EGIG line. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.
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
