Abstract content

A series of ice properties' measurements were made in December, 2006 in support of the balloon-borne ANITA neutrino detection effort. Of particular importance is the electric field attenuation length in the range 200-1000 MHz as well as signal transmission across the air-ice boundary. We present measurements of the temperature profile over the upper 100 meters of ice, radiofrequency attenuation lengths, and surface roughness effects on signal propagation.
