MARC recordAn airborne millimeter-wave FM-CW radar for thickness profiling of freshwater ice / Norbert E. Yankielun.
| Title: | An airborne millimeter-wave FM-CW radar for thickness profiling of freshwater ice / Norbert E. Yankielun. |
| Author(s): | Yankielun, Norbert E. |
| Date: | 1992. |
| In: | CRREL Report. (1992.), Vol. 92-20 (1992) |
| Abstract: | Describes development of prototype system, employing real-time data acquisition and digital signal processing techniques and operating at frequencies of 26.5 to 40 GHz. Thickness resolution is better than 3 cm±10%. System was tested on ground and from helicopter at heights of up to 7 m above surface. Ice sheets between 3 and 35 cm thick, with and without snow cover, on ponds and rivers have been profiled. Results show direct correlation between radar and borehole thickness measurements. |
