Abstract

During 1998, the University of Kansas Radar Systems and Remote Sensing Laboratory performed ice thickness measurements along several flights in the southern part of Greenland. The authors used an improved coherent radar depth sounder operating at 150 MHz to collect these data. They obtained ice thickness data along flight lines for which no reliable thickness information was available. They present results from these experiments along a 2000-m contour line in the southwestern part of the Greenland
