Radar Diffraction Horizons in Snow and Firn Due to a Surficial Vertical Transfer of Mass

Abstract: ABSTRACT. We focus here on three horizons conspicuously embedded in the rich radar stratigraphy revealed on the fixed-offset radar data obtained Plateau Detroit, Antarctic Peninsula. Spatial filtering removed the more energetic reflection field and the surface wave arrivals at the earlier time, leaving only the diffracted field. This is particularly striking for the early time horizon where the direct wave arrivals had shrouded the diffractions before filtering. The density estimates and the photographic datas… Show more

“…The model may have two (Herron and Langway , 1980) or even three (Ligtenberg et al, 2011) distinct firn densification stages, spanning from the surface to the zone of pore close-off. The adopted model has one densification stage from the surface down to the last available density estimate at z ρ(max) = 64.5 m: ρ z = 0.339 z 0.1853 , with R 2 = 0.97 (Travassos et al, 2018). The density measurements beyond z ρ(max) were accidentally lost; so we impose the density of glacier ice onto the core bottom, ρ (109 m) = ρ ice , bridging the data gap with a straight line linking the imposed value to the last-measured density.…”
