Borehole Optical Stratigraphy at Siple Dome
Entry ID:
UW_BOS_SDM
Summary
Abstract:
This data set contains the Borehole Optical Stratigraphic (BOS) profile for a
borehole (designated K) approximately 50 M from the main borehole at Siple Dome, West Antarctica. BOS is a system comprising a borehole video camera (downward-looking) and post-processing software. The post-processing software samples a ring of pixels around the side of the borehole wall, and ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
Quality of this dataset is relatively good. There are artifacts about each 5
meters or so, which are the signal from metal bands that were injected into the hole for another experiment.
