Abstract:

Developmental airborne coherent radar sounding data collected over a variety of sounding targets in Antarctica, including a full gridded survey of subglacial Lake Vostok and its environs. This was an instrument development award, so the data are not of "production" quality. Receiver sensitivity documents are provided with the data. The data resides in 6, DLT 4 tapes (~30 Gb each).
