The first geodetic investigation at the summit of Dome A,Antarctica |
| |
| Abstract: | Dome A is the highest ice feature in the Antarctica,up to now,little is known about surface topography at Dome A.The first Chinese ITASE expedition was carried out from Zhongshan station to Dome A during the 1996/1997 austral summer. During the 2004/2005 austral summer,the traverse was extended to the summit of Dome A which is 1228 km from Zhongshan Station by 21st Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE).The real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS survey was carried out in the summit of Dome A during 2004/05 austral summer.The surface to- pography of Dome A was drawn up using the kinematic double-frequency GPS data covering an area of about 70 km~2.The accuracy of the kinematic survey is in the range of 0.20 m.Precise surface topography,bedrock morphology and internal laye- ring geometry are important for the future selection of the best site for deep drilling at Dome A. |
