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

Abstract: 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.

摘要：本数据集涵盖惠兰冰流（Whillans Ice Stream）接地线附近11个测点的冰架底部融化速率与垂直应变率。相关参数通过自主相敏雷达（Autonomous Phase-Sensitive Radar）测定。数据处理流程详见Begeman等（2018）发表于《地球物理研究杂志：海洋分册》（JGR Oceans）的研究成果。上述测点集中分布于罗斯冰架（Ross Ice Shelf）的一处海湾内。本次测定的融化速率与应变率的观测时段为2014年12月至2015年1月，观测时长介于10至38天不等。
