Summary
Abstract: Measurements of ice velocity on the surface of the ice sheet in Wilkes Land East Antarctica were made along the routes of oversnow traverses operating out of Casey (66.6 S 110 E). In general, measurements were made at a nominal spacing of 50 km. Additional measurements were made at closer spacing in some areas in order to resolve finer scale variation in the flow pattern. Three main routes were ... View entire text

Quality All velocity data were derived from positions determined using Doppler Satellite Positioning techniques with data collected from the (US) 'NAVSAT' systems using 'JMR' receivers, with the doppler data processed in combination with Precise Ephemeris data supplied by the (US) 'DMAHTC' and the 'DOPPLR' software packages. Processing of the data were carried out by the Australian 'Division of National ... View entire text
