A cartoon depicting the distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) process on an ice sheet. An interrogator and fiber optic cable stretch across an ice sheet. Light pulses denoted as yellow arrows show signal pulsing out of the interrogator and receiving signal back as faded yellow arrows. An airplane taking off from the ice creates seismic waves that travel through the ice. The signals travel through the ice at different velocities due to some ice layers containing bubbles, which cause a density change in the ice.
