Abstract
For polar ice sheets, valuable stress and strain information
can be deduced from crystal orientation fabrics (COF) and
their prevailing c-axis alignment. Polarimetric radio echo
sounding is a promising technique to measure the
anisotropic electromagnetic propagation and reflection
properties associated with COFs. In this paper, fully
polarimetric P-band data acquired with the airborne
POLARIS system near the ice divide of the Greenland ice
sheet are analyzed. Based on a simple electromagnetic
model, these data are interpreted, and a pronounced
birefringence is found.
