Water column and ice thickness measurements of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf derived from point seismic observations collected between 2015-2017
This data are derived from single point seismic data collected across the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf. The seismic data were collected over the course of three seasons by a number of field parties, consisting of two main surveys between the 15/16 and 16/17 austral summers and several smaller surveys, as part of a joint initiative between the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI) in the framework of the "Filchner Ice Shelf System" (FISS) and the "Filchner Ice Shelf Project" (FISP). A total of 256 point seismic measurements were made, of which 248 had clearly visible reflectors and were deemed usable. Each data point consists of a location, together with measurements of ice thickness and water column thickness.
These data were collected as part of the FISS NERC large grant, project number NE/L013770/1.

- Statement
- Water column thickness and Ice thickness errors, arising from uncertainty in seismic velocities, temperature and reflector shape, are expected to be less than 10m. A detailed description of the expected errors can be found in the referenced publication.
