Method Summary |
This directory contains processed waveform data from the KuKa radar instrument from its deployment at Rothera Research Station during 2023. Data were collected over sea ice, open water, glacial ice and terrestrial snow. In addition, calibration experiments were performed on a metal sheet and over concrete inside the aircraft hanger. The data are therefore extremely diverse and contact should be made with the Rothera DEFIANT project team prior to any scientific analysis. Any such analysis will require auxiliary data concerning the nature of the target in the footprint (sea ice, land-ice, snow etc). Data are processed at full bandwidth (see Willatt et al., 2023 GRL for details on this) using the KuKaPy Python package (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7967057). |

Comments |
All data are geolocated with the exception of calibration measurements that occurred in the aircraft hangar where no GPS fix was available. Due to a persistent issue with the instrument clocks, the accuracy of timestamps are not always guaranteed. |
