STATE ESTIMATION IN MULTI-SENSOR FUSION NAVIGATION: EQUIVALENCE ANALYSIS ON FILTERING AND OPTIMIZATION

Obtaining the physical properties of ice sheets is important. In this study, we use seismic ambient noise to obtain the shallow S-wave velocity structure at the Dome A region. The result agrees with the ice-core data nearby and reveals radial anisotropy in the firn layer due to compaction and recrystallization processes. This study demonstrates that cultural seismic noise provides an effective and environmentally friendly way for the imaging of near-surface structures in Antarctica.
