Abstract

Abstract Over the past 70 years, many different components of the cryosphere have been imaged with a variety of radar systems using increasingly sophisticated processing techniques. These systems use various pulse lengths, signal frequencies and, in some cases, modulated signals. The increasing diversity of radar systems has created the potential for confusion due to the use of non-consistent terminology. Here we provide an overview of state-of-the-science radar technologies and suggest a simplified and unified terminology for use by the cryosphere community. We recommend a terminology that is target independent but specifies the characteristics of the signal. Following this recommendation, commercial impulse systems that penetrate the subsurface should be referred to as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and pulse radars as radio-echo sounding (RES). Continuous-wave (CW) radar systems should be referred to as ground-penetrating CW radars. We further suggest any additional characterisation of the system be expressed using descriptors that specify the platform it is mounted on (e.g. airborne) or the frequency range (e.g. HF (high frequency)) or modulation (e.g. FM (frequency modulated)).

走向放射冰川学的通用术语
摘要在过去的70年里,各种雷达系统使用越来越复杂的处理技术对冰冻圈的许多不同部件进行了成像。这些系统使用各种脉冲长度、信号频率,并且在某些情况下使用调制信号。由于使用了不一致的术语,雷达系统的多样性日益增加,造成了混乱的可能性。在这里,我们概述了科学雷达技术的现状,并提出了一个简化和统一的术语,供冰冻圈社区使用。我们建议使用与目标无关的术语,但要指定信号的特性。根据这一建议,穿透地下的商业脉冲系统应称为探地雷达(GPR),脉冲雷达应称为无线电回波探测(RES)。连续波雷达系统应被称为探地连续波雷达。我们进一步建议使用描述符来表达系统的任何附加特征,该描述符指定系统安装的平台(例如机载)或频率范围(例如HF(高频))或调制(例如FM(调频))。

期刊介绍: Annals of Glaciology publishes original scientific articles and letters in selected aspects of glaciology-the study of ice. Each issue of the Annals is thematic, focussing on a specific subject. The Council of the International Glaciological Society welcomes proposals for thematic issues from the glaciological community. Once a theme is approved, the Council appoints an Associate Chief Editor and a team of Scientific Editors to handle the submission, peer review and publication of papers.
