Accumulation Radar is a radar system operated by the Center for Remote Sensing and Integrated Systems (CReSIS) group at the University of Kansas. It provides high-resolution profiles of the top 100 meters of the ice column to map variations in snow accumulation rate. For airborne operations, it operates at the 600-900 MHz range and has a 28 cm depth resolution in ice. For ground-based observations, it operates across the 500 MHz to 2GHz frequency range and has a 5.6 cm depth resolution.
