| 内容記述 | Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) offers the exciting possibility of remote sensing below the Martian surface for trapped aquifers. A GPR is currently heading to Mars onboard Mars Express (MEX) and a GPR is in consideration to be onboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) in 2005. While such orbital systems offer great potential for polar stratigraphy studies, their ability to penetrate deep into the Martian polar ice is a function of both the intervening ionospheric density and the overlying ground ice conductivity. The influence of both signal-altering layers will be discussed. Polar Ice and Water: Clifford1,2 has suggested |
