Abstract
Radio-echo data have yielded information on the dynamics of the Ross Ice Shelf. Distinctive features present on the radio-echo records have been used to delineate several flow lines on the ice shelf. Measurement of the power returned from the ice-water interface has revealed regional variations in the r.f. dielectric loss of Ross Ice Shelf ice. These variations are used to indicate zones of bottom melting and freezing.Keywords
