Brilliant discovery - brilliant paper title!
I'm not so sure that we can deduce anything much about the depth. The shoreline gradient is very small, yet even for the (one would think) shallows near the shore no bottom reflection is detected, presumably because the direct reflection from the surface is just so much brighter. I note that "T60 will provide another . . opportunity where the observation can be tuned better" - maybe to look specifically for a bottom echo?? And before that there is the T58 SAR. How much will it resemble the northern lakes? Exciting stuff. Oh - I almost forgot there's a few other abstracts to look at as well !!! |
