Abstract:
Ice thickness obtained with a P-band (~400 MHz) radar flying at a constant altitude during an aero-geophysical survey along the coast of Dronning Maud Land between the Nivlisen and Fimbul ice shelves. For further information on the instrument please refer to Dall et al. (2010) and Vazquez-Roy et al. (2012). This dataset is discussed in Goel et al. (2020).
If you use the dataset in presentations and publications please also refer to this data portal reference (authors and doi).
