Editorial for the Special Issue “Review of Application Areas of GPR”
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) started as a radio echo sounding technology during the second half of the last century, but it is now a well-established and widely adopted technology for producing high-resolution images of subsurface [...]

Simulating the Profile of a Radio Altimeter Echo Signal
Introduction. Radio altimeters are used for remote monitoring of the Earth and sea surface based on the signal power profile, i.e. the dependence of echo signal power vs time, averaged over a set of sounding measurements. Calculation of the power profile

Multiangle, Frequency, and Polarization Radar Measurement of Ice Sheets
Radio echo sounding of polar ice sheets provides important information on the ice bed topography and internal layers. These data have been used by scientists to create 3-D maps of polar ice sheets for climate modeling as well as to reconstruct the ...

A site for deep ice coring at West Hercules Dome: results from ground-based geophysics and modeling
Hercules Dome, Antarctica, has long been identified as a prospective deep ice core site due to the undisturbed internal layering, climatic setting and potential to obtain proxy records from the Last Interglacial (LIG) period when the West Antarctic ice ...

A compact lightweight multipurpose ground-penetrating radar for glaciological applications [PDF]
We describe a compact lightweight impulse radar for radio-echo sounding of subsurface structures designed specifically for glaciological applications. The radar operates at frequencies between 10 and 75 MHz.

During the past 20 years, multi-channel radar emerged as a key tool for deciphering an ice sheet's internal architecture. To assign ages to radar reflections and connect them over large areas in the ice sheet, the layer genesis has to be understood on a ...

Penetration of Antarctic subglacial lakes by VHF electromagnetic pulses: Information on the depth and electrical conductivity of basal water bodies [PDF]
Owing to the high level of absorption of very high frequency radio waves in water, previous investigators of airborne radio echo sounding (RES) data from Antarctica have assumed that the depth of subglacial lakes cannot be measured directly by this ...

Airborne radar evidence for tributary flow switching in Institute Ice Stream, West Antarctica: implications for ice sheet configuration and dynamics [PDF]
Despite the importance of ice streaming to the evaluation of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) stability we know little about mid- to long-term dynamic changes within the Institute Ice Stream (IIS) catchment.
