Artefact: close-up
A closer look at the unusual pattern of elevation differences in the Antarctic ice sheet measured by CryoSat. The scientists were able to simulate the observed pattern showing how the interaction between the ice pack and the radar polarisation modifies the radar measurements. The observed pattern is shown in (a) and (c), and simulations in (b) and (d). The dashed line indicates where the pattern is inverted as a result of the high coverage of CryoSat’s orbit.
