Record #97313:

A synthetic-aperture radio-echo experiment at Storglaciären, Sweden / Michael E.R. Walford, Michael I. Kennett.

Title: A synthetic-aperture radio-echo experiment at Storglaciären, Sweden / Michael E.R. Walford, Michael I. Kennett.
Author(s): Walford, Michael E. R.
Kennett, Michael I.
Date: 1989.
In: Journal of Glaciology. (1989.), Vol. 35(119) (1989)
Abstract: Describes experiment designed to search for and examine radio echoes from major individual englacial targets; this, it was hoped, would provide insight into nature of targets and perhaps of englacial water system. Echoes were recorded in each of three antenna configurations over array of sites on glacier surface. Echo information was transferred to main-frame computer and manipulated in order to reveal any major individual targets present. Within 100 m cube, six major targets were identified, each with its own echoing characteristics. Echo strengths indicate that targets are probably cavities containing water. Cannot be determined whether they are isolated or parts of continuous system.
