Self-affine subglacial roughness: consequences for radar scattering and basal water discrimination in northern Greenland
2017
The Cryosphere
Past studies have demonstrated that subglacial terrain exhibits self-affine (power law) roughness scaling behaviour, but existing radar scattering models do not take this into account. ...
</strong> Subglacial roughness can be determined at a variety of length scales from radio-echo sounding (RES) data either via statistical analysis of topography or inferred from basal radar scattering. ...
The radar scattering model is then used to quantify self-affine topographic control upon radar scattering, via the Hurst exponent (Sect. 5.2). ...
