Modified Transcript: If we
think of this piece of paper as the bedrock beneath the ice, then
we could call the white areas on this piece of paper places of strong
reflectivity. The black areas, then, would be places of weak reflectivity.
We are using this information to create a map of the reflectivity
of the bedrock. You could compare our task with that of a person
who creates topography maps of the surface of the earth using height
measurements. We are doing a similar task, but we are creating a
reflectivity map of the bedrock beneath the ice using radar.
