Measuring seismic attenuation in polar firn: method and application to Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica

Measuring seismic attenuation in polar firn: method and application to Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica

We present seismic measurements of the firn column at Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica, including measurements of compressional-wave velocity and attenuation. We describe a modified spectral-ratio method of measuring the seismic quality factor (Q) based on analysis of diving waves, which, combined wi...
