Basal melt rates of the Ross Ice Shelf near the Whillans Ice Stream grounding line

This dataset contains ice-shelf basal melt rates and vertical strain rates for 11 sites near the Whillans Ice Stream grounding line. These rates were determined using Autonomous Phase-Sensitive Radar. Data processing is described in Begeman et al. 2018, JGR Oceans. These sites are concentrated within an embayment of the Ross Ice Shelf. These melt rates and strain rates were determined over periods ranging from 10 to 38 days in December 2014 to January 2015.

本数据集收录了惠兰斯冰流（Whillans Ice Stream）接地线周边11处测点的冰架底部融化速率与垂直应变率数据。上述速率通过自主相敏雷达（Autonomous Phase-Sensitive Radar）测定获得。数据处理方法详见Begeman等（2018）发表于《地球物理学研究杂志：海洋》（JGR Oceans）的研究成果。上述测点集中分布于罗斯冰架（Ross Ice Shelf）的一处湾域内。本次观测的融化速率与应变率数据的观测时段为2014年12月至2015年1月，单段观测时长介于10至38天不等。
