Coverage:
Latitude: 72.588000 * Longitude: -38.457000
Minimum DEPTH, ice/snow: 0.0000 m * Maximum DEPTH, ice/snow: 3047.7800 m
Event(s):
GISP2-D * Latitude: 72.588000 * Longitude: -38.457000 * Elevation Start: 3203.0 m * Elevation End: 0.0 m * Campaign: GISP * Basis: Sampling/drilling ice * Method/Device: Drilling/drill rig (DRILL) * Comment: The length of the 3-km borehole at the GISP2 site was measured by two completely independent geophysical logging systems, the University of Copenhagen system (UCPH) and the U.S. Geological Survey's temperature system (USGS). Both systems utilized steel logging cables. The depth calibration factor for the UCPH system was determined from the measured length of the GRIP ice core while the USGS system was calibrated using a fiberglass tape measure with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The accuracy of the depth measurements for both systems is estimated to be 2-3 m at a depth of 3 km. Inclination/azimuth measurements from the UCPH logger have been used to calculate the true vertical depth of the borehole from the measured total slant length. UCPH/true vertical depth (m):3047.8 slant length (m):3056.5 USGS/true vertical depth (m):3047.9, slant length (m):3056.6
Comment:
Inclination and azimuth was meas. 1993, 1994, 1995 using Univy of Copenhagens geophysical logging system (UCPH), described by Gundestrup et al., (1994). Continued measurements will reveal the rate at which the ice is deforming as a function of depth in the ice sheet; ice deformation measurements are needed to constrain ice dynamics models developed for the GISP2 and GRIP sites. Given the slow deformation rates at GISP2, these measurements will need to be continued through at least 1999. Depth is true vertical depth
