Description

Database of known Antarctic radar depth sounding data. 

  • qiceradar_antarctic_index.gpkg - Database with ground tracks, citation info, and URLs of available data
  • qiceradar_antarctic_index.qlr - QGIS style file that organizes the transects into campaign/institution and styles them based on radargram availability.

Download both files to the same directory, then drag qiceradar_antarctic_index.qlr into QGIS.

(Do not rename them!)
