Davis Station Antarctica Ice Thickness Data

This dataset contains records of ice thickness and snow thickness from Davis Antarctica. Measurements were attempted on a weekly basis and have been recorded since 1957 and are ongoing, although data have only been archived here until 2002. The observations are not continuous however.


The dataset is available via the provided URL.


This data were also collected as part of ASAC projects 189 and 741.
