Casassa, C., Brecher, H., Cárdenas, C. & Rivera, A. (1998) : “Mass balance of the Antarctic ice Sheet at patriot Hills” Annals of Glaciology, 27: 130-134.

Resumen / Abstract.

Glaciological data collected at Patriot Hills, Antarctica (80°18’S, 81°22’W), are used to assess the local mass balance of the ice sheet. The data were collected during two field campaigns conducted by the Instituto Antártico Chileno in January and November 1995. Measurements included surveying of stakes, and ice thickness derived from discrete radar soundings with a ground-based high-frecuency impulse system.
