Metadata details
ASAC_1164_AM01_GPR
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
AM01 borehole drilled January 2002.
Data collected in series of files over a period of 2 days after completion of borehole.
Consult Readme file for detail of data files and formats.
Quality
See Readme file ... A dual frequency (4.2 MHz, and 8.4 MHz) Ground Penetrating Radar unit was operated at several locations around the AM01 borehole to try to detect the meteoric-marine ice interface. Data obtained was often ambiguous, and non-reproducible even over short time-space scales. Data has been extracted to postscript files which are effectively screenshots of the TEK storage CRO used to record readings. The data are overall of poor quality.
