Seismic refraction data, Antarctic Peninsula, Larsen C Ice Shelf, Cabinet Inlet, November-December 2014
Seismic refraction experiments were conducted in eight locations along a flowline originating in the Cabinet Inlet, Larsen C Ice Shelf, with the main purpose of estimating firn density profiles. The data were collected as part of NERC Project MIDAS.
Funding was provided by NERC Standard Grant 'Impact of surface melt and ponding on ice shelf dynamics and stability', 2014-2017, NERC Reference NE/L005409/1.

- Statement
-
Methodology:
The seismic refraction data were collected with a 14 lb sledgehammer and plastic plate seismic source, using the instrumentation specified below, to create 'walk-away' shot gathers. The seismic lines of shot and geophones are aligned with the ice-shelf flow direction, i.e. aligned along a flowline originating from the Cabinet Inlet. No reverse shots were recorded because the firn was layered and laterally homogeneous in each location.
Data collection:
2 x Geometrics Geode seismographs with 100 Hz vertical geophones, acquired using Geometrics proprietary software MGEOS, recording raw data files in .sg2 format.
Data quality:
Raw data are provided and data quality can therefore be readily assessed. Selected bad traces have been removed in assembling the .sgy files, caused by faulty take-outs in the seismic cable used.
