Abstract
This file contains internal radar horizon 1 (lm-MERGE-lay9-grg) for West Antarctica, collected during the SOAR/CASERTZ (1991-1996), SOAR/DVD (1999), ATRS (2001), AGASEA (2004-05) and GIMBLE (2013-2014) expeditions. Only data collected in AGASEA is contained in this specific product. This data set is linked to PH.D thesis Muldoon, G. 2018 "West Antarctic Ice Sheet Retreat during the Last Interglacial"Spatial and temporal distributions of accumulation rates on the catchment of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica", University of Texas at Austin https://doi.org/10.15781/T23B5WS0D The internal radar horizon (IRH) was traced semi-automatically by Gail R. Muldoon using Haliburtons's Landmark software and picker, in a combination of 2D focused and unfocused data. Depths were calculated using a 2 way velocity in ice of 84.5 m/microsecond, and no firn correction. Isochron age is 4711 (+/- 246 ) years. Funding for this dataset as provided by NSF grants and The G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation.
