Put the text through grammarly and make fixes.  Currently, you can't put a pdf into grammarly and it is not integrated with overleaft.
 Instead, you can open a pdf in Word, save it as a word document, and then read that in grammarly.

Some of the misconceptions we could find in our field. Useful for neophytes in our group.

When things that produce calibration signals are pulsers with an e.  Pulsars are astronomical objects.

For us the plural of antenna is antennas.  Antennae is used for insects and aliens!

Hello!  See the attached report relating the compressibility of firn, the density profile, and the resulting index of refraction profile. 
The gradient of the index of refraction profile determines the curvature of classically refracted rays.

This is a writeup I worked on last Fall, arguing that even if we have phase center offsets between H and V, our L and R maps should still show a good
reconstruction.
Entry  Fri Mar 17 00:25:49 2017, Amy Connolly, Write-ups, Theory, Dependence of density of packed snow with depth, ARA mycalc.pdfa028622.pdf
I had a glaciology day and did my own derivation of rho(z) using the compressibility of packed snow.  The conclusions are a bit different from what
Jordan found, although similar and greater depths, so I'll be interested to hear what he thinks, or anyone else!

Attached are my writeup, and an interesting paper reporting measurements of compressibility of packed ice.
