MCoRDS Integrated Into the DC-8 Tail

The Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS) integrated with the DC-8. MCoRDS measures ice sheet thickness and also maps the varied terrain below the ice, which is important for computer modeling of the ice's future behavior. Credit: Jane Peterson, NSERC
