The dataset consists of 14 selected lines of radar data, collected from the Little Dome C region close to Concordia Station in East Antarctica. The data were collected in austral field seasons 2016-17, and 2017-18, from within the search region for the planned European project Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice, an EU-funded 10-nation consortium project to drill an ice core that spans up to 1.5 million years of climate and atmospheric history. Radar lines were recorded using the BAS DELORES sledge-borne, over-snow, ice radar system and geolocated with a precise GPS system.
This data was generated within the project Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice (BE-OI). The project has received funding from the European Union''s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 730258 (BE-OI CSA). It has received funding from the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) under contract number 16.0144. It is further supported by national partners and funding agencies in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the UK. Logistic support is mainly provided by AWI, BAS, ENEA and IPEV. Collection of this data also benefited from support by the joint French-Italian Concordia Programme, which established and runs the permanent station Concordia at Dome C. We particularly acknowledge those who collected the data in the field, and assisted with the processing: Robert Mulvaney, Massimo Frezzotti, Marie Cavitte, Ed King, Carlos Martin, Catherine Ritz, Julius Rix.

Position data recorded by L1/L2 geodetic GPS, mounted along-track mid-way between the centres of the transmit and received dipole antennas. Rinex position data is recorded at 10 second intervals, and the Rinex files post-processed to account for satellite vehicle ephemeris, and atmospheric effects, using the Canadian Spatial Reference System - Precise Point Positioning available at Geodetic tools and data (nrcan.gc.ca).
Note that the SEG-Y standard specifies that the Sample Interval in the Binary File Header should be expressed as microseconds for time data, and must be an integer. To overcome these limitations, the vertical sampling interval is expressed as 12000 picoseconds.
