Basal reflectance and melt rates across the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, from grounding line to ice shelf front

We present a 1000 km transect of phase-sensitive radar measurements of ice thickness, basal reflection strength, basal melting and ice-column deformation across the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS). Measurements were gathered at varying intervals in austral summer between 2015 and 2020, connecting the grounding...
