This dataset contains airborne radar data acquired using the AWI EMR system (Nixdorf et al., 1999) during the Arctic season of 2004. The profiles extend across the Northeast Greenland Ice Sheet betweenNorth GRIP, NEEM, GRIP, and GISP2 ice core sites and Southwest Greenland. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.

OLD VERSION 1, please use newer version (see Replaced by reference)--Project PI: Heinz 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.
