ANT 2024/25: AWI airborne ultra-wideband radar data around Sør Rondane Mountains in eastern DML (CHARISO Project)
Abstract
In the Antarctic austral summer season of 2024/25 AWI ultra-wideband (UWB) data was acquired across prominent ice-streams draining parts of the DML region as part of the CHARISO (Swiss (CH) Antarctic Research Initiative - ISOchrones in East Antarctic outflow regions) project, providing an opportunity to trace isochrones there and compare their pattern with modelled isochrones from ice-sheet modelling. The data were further used to the existing AWI UWB radar profiles from the ANT 2023/24 CHARISO season and were recorded in a frequency range between 150-520 MHz. The data are available for both data products (qlook: unfocused; standard: SAR focused) as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.
