Abstract
Data and derived products used in Rutishauser et al., “Radar sounding survey over Devon Ice Cap indicates the potential for a diverse hypersaline subglacial hydrological environment”, accepted for publication, The Cryosphere, https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-2021-220 Corresponding author: rutishauser.anja@gmail.com Description of datasets: ------------------------------------------ 2018_DIC_UTIG.IR2HI1B.kml Geolocation of the SRH1 profile lines. Coordinates in EPSG: 4326 - WGS 84 (latitude, longitude) ------------------------------------------ 2018_DIC_UTIG.IR2HI1B.tgz HiCARS 2 L1B echo strength profiles (radargrams) in NetCDF format. The naming of the files has the structure IR2HI1B_YYYYDOY_PST_x (e.g. IR2HI1B_2018153_DEV_JKB2t_Y87b_000.nc), where YYYY is the survey year (e.g. 2018), DOY is the survey day of the year (e.g. 153), PST is the profile name (e.g. DEV_JKB2t_Y87b), and x is the segment number if the profile was split in two (e.g. 000). For each profile, a PDF file showing the profile location and the radargram is included. ------------------------------------------ 2018_DIC_UTIG.Level2.tgz Level 2 datasets for each profile, organized in the following folders: 2018_DIC_UTIG.ILUTP2: Laser altimeter geolocated surface elevation 2018_DIC_UTIG.IR2HI2: HiCARS 2 unfocused (pik1) geolocated ice thickness, ice surface elevation, bed elevation, surface- and bed reflection coefficients, and aircraft roll 2018_DIC_UTIG.IRHFOC2: HiCARS 2 focused (foc1) geolocated ice thickness, ice surface elevation, bed elevation, surface- and bed reflection coefficients, and aircraft roll 2018_DIC_UTIG.IRSPC2: HiCARS 2 derived basal interface specularity content ------------------------------------------ Devon_basal_ice_temperature.tif: Modeled basal ice temperature [ºC] using a 1D advection diffusion model. 500 m grid cell size, coordinates in EPSG: 32617 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 17N. ------------------------------------------ Devon_bedrockDEM.tif: Digital elevation model (DEM) of the bedrock topography beneath Devon Ice Cap [m asl.]. 500 m grid cell size, coordinates in EPSG: 32617 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 17N. ------------------------------------------ Devon_gridded_RMSD_bedrock.tif: Root mean square deviation (RMDS) of the bedrock topography [m].

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
