2 Topics Overview EM Model Sensor Geometr Antenna Arra Position Errors Sandbox Tests
3 Overview Motivation Global sea level rise threatens coastal regions Contributions from an ice sheet are measured b finding the mass balance of the ice sheet. Create ice flow model to predict mass balance Basal conditions needed for ice flow model We can drill boreholes in a few places, but not all over the Arctic and Antarctic regions RADAR.
4 Overview Basal Scattering The bedrock is thought to be smooth with respect to wavelength. Therefore it looks like a mirror at our frequencies of operation. Tx T T R M R X Origin α D β β α z Ice Bedrock S 1 0 S x Swath

35 Conclusions Transmitter Location (Sensor Geometr) The transmitter position has a ver large effect on the size of the bistatic arra. Depending on the tpe of scattering and thickness of the ice, the bistatic mode ma or ma not be faster than the monostatic mode. The bistatic transmitter position that minimizes the receiver crosstrack movement was found. Along-track Antenna Arra Along-track antenna arra could be helpful in expediting the bistatic measurements. For high-precision measurements (e.g. 10 m) its usefulness is limited unless each element can be controlled individuall.
36 Conclusions Position Errors Position errors can be ver severe at higher frequencies. Increasing aperture length does not help position errors. GPS errors need to be characterized in terms of magnitude of relative error and error correlation over time and space. Sandbox lab tests showed: First-order EM Model gives results consistent with the measured results Abilit to position targets to within a few centimeters Abilit to distinguish targets with different reflectivities (with similar targets giving consistent reflectivities)
