Penetration depth of interferometric synthetic‐aperture radar signals in snow and ice
Open accessAbstract
Digital elevation models of glaciated terrain produced by the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) airborne interferometric synthetic‐aperture radar (InSAR) instrument in Greenland and Alaska at the C‐ (5.6 cm wavelength) and L‐band (24‐cm) frequencies were compared with surface elevation measured from airborne laser altimetry to estimate the phase center of the interferometric depth, or penetration depth, δp. On cold polar firn at Greenland summit, δp = 9±2m at C‐ and 14±4m at L‐band. On the exposed ice surface of Jakobshavn Isbrae, west Greenland, δp = 1±2 m at C‐ and 3±3 m at L‐band except on smooth, marginal ice where δp=15±5 m. On colder marginal ice of northeast Greenland, δp reaches 60 to 120 m at L‐band. On the temperate ice of Brady Glacier, Alaska, δp is 4±2 m at C‐and 12±6 m at L‐band, with little dependence on snow/ice conditions. The implications of the results on the scientific use of InSAR data over snow/ice terrain is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
