The profiles extend across the western Dronning Maud around the EPICA DML ice core site. The data are available as netCDF files (including waveforms and metadata), KML files of the profile line locations, and quicklook images of the radargrams.Project PI: Heinrich Miller (AWI)

The netCDF files contain the following variables:
altitude: Platform altitude (WGS84) in meters
bed_elevation: Bed elevation for each trace (without applying a firn correction and permitivity of ice: 3.15) in meters
bed_pick: picked Bed location for each trace, expressed as twt in seconds from time zero
data: Radar data (Values in dBm after DC conversion)
data_agc: Scaled radar data using automatic gain control (AGC)
distance: Along-track distance in meters
ice_thickness: Ice thickness for each trace (without applying a firn correction and permitivity of ice: 3.15) in meters
lat: Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)
lon: Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84)
range: Range between sensor and surface in meters
spacing: Along-track trace to trace spacing in meters
surface: Surface elevation derived from radar (WGS84) in meters
surface_pick: Picked surface reflection in two-way travel time in seconds
time: Seconds of day
twt: Two-way travel time (twt) in seconds

The KML files are in EPSG:4326, and the quicklook images show the AGC product of the radargram.-9.7487874.168018-74.847496-70.645134Weddell SeaFifth Framework Programmehttps://doi.org/10.13039/100011104EVK2-CT-2000-00077European Project for Ice Coring in AntarcticaFourth Framework Programmehttps://doi.org/10.13039/100011105ENV4980702European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica
