Abstract
Abstract We used a coherent radar depth sounder operating at 150MHz to collect ice thickness data on outlet glaciers in northwestern Greenland. The radar data were collected in conjunction with laser surface elevation measurements and were tagged with GPS information for accurate geolocation. The radar signals were corrupted by multiple echoes between the aircraft and the ice surface, as well as between the ice surface and the ice-bedrock interface. We applied the homomorphic deconvolution technique to remove multiple echoes successfully and have identified the grounding line of a long ice shelf in northwestern Greenland.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Remote Sensing ( IJRS) is concerned with the theory, science and technology of remote sensing and novel applications of remotely sensed data. The journal’s focus includes remote sensing of the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and the terrestrial earth, as well as human modifications to the earth system. Principal topics include:
• Remotely sensed data collection, analysis, interpretation and display.
• Surveying from space, air, water and ground platforms.
• Imaging and related sensors.
• Image processing.
• Use of remotely sensed data.
• Economic surveys and cost-benefit analyses.
• Drones Section: Remote sensing with unmanned aerial systems (UASs, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones).
