ASAC_1164_AM04_caliper
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
AM04 borehole drilled January 2006.
Profiling measurements conducted to test borehole diameter integrity.
Quality
See Readme file ... data collected as header, depth (m), diameter (cm)
Borehole diameter was attempted to be wide enough to allow passage of a large ADCP instrument ... this worked well in the upper parts of the borehole but not at great depth in the permeable marine ice layer (530-600 m).
Note - depths and altitudes provided in spatial coverage are referenced back to sea level.
The minimum depth asl refers to the height of the ice surface.
