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.

\section{Defining H/V/LCP/RCP Waveforms}
Waveform in the vertical polarization.  The $n$ index represents antenna number and the $i$ index is for time bin.
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:vwaveform}
v_n(t_i) = \sum_k e^{-j \omega_k t_i} V(\omega_k) \Delta \omega
\end{equation}
Now horizontal polarization, giving all of the H-pol phase centers a time offset relative to the V-pol phase centers.
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:hwaveform}
h_n(t_i) = \sum_k e^{-j \left( \omega_k t_i + \omega_k t_0 \right) } H(\omega_k) \Delta \omega
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:rwaveform}
r_n(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left[ v(t_i) + j h(t_i) \right]
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
\label{eq:lwaveform}
\ell_n(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left[ v(t_i) - j h(t_i) \right]
\end{equation}

Substituting Eqs.~\ref{eq:vwaveform} and ~\ref{eq:hwaveform} into Eqs. ~\ref{eq:rwaveform} and ~\ref{eq:lwaveform}:
\begin{equation}
r_n(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  \sum_k  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_kt_i}  \left[ V(\omega_k) + j e^{-j\omega_k t_0}  H(\omega_k) \right]
\end{equation}

\section{Cross-Correlations with LCP/RCP Waveforms}
Now consider two antennas, and antenna 1 has a delay $T$ with respect to 2.  Then,
\begin{equation}
r_1(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  \sum_k  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_k t_i}  \left[ V(\omega_k) + j e^{-j\omega_k t_0}  H(\omega_k) \right]
\end{equation}

And since
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:vwaveform}
v_2(t_i) = \sum_k e^{-j \omega_k (t_i+T)} V(\omega_k) \Delta \omega
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:hwaveform}
h_2(t_i) = \sum_k e^{-j \left[ \omega_k  (t_i+t_0+T) \right] } H(\omega_k) \Delta \omega
\end{equation}
then
\begin{equation}
r_2(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  \sum_k  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_k (t_i+T)}  \left[ V(\omega_k) + j e^{-j\omega_k t_0}  H(\omega_k) \right]
\end{equation}


Cross-correlating the RCP waveforms from antennas 1 and 2 ($r_1$ and $r_2$), and ignoring the normalization factor in the denominator for now, the get the following as a function of delay $\tau$ between the two RCP waveforms:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:C12rr}
C^{rr}_{12}(\tau) = \sum_{k^{\prime}} \Delta t ~ r_1(t_i) r^*_2 (t_i+\tau)
\end{equation}
where the sum is over the region where the waveforms overlap for a given $\tau$.
Then substituting $r_1(t_i)$ and $r_2(t_i+\tau)$ into Eq.~\ref{eq:C12rr},
\begin{multline}
C^{rr}_{12}(\tau) = \dfrac{1}{2}  \left[  \sum_{k_1}  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_{k_1} t_i}  \left[ V(\omega_{k_1}) + j e^{-j\omega_{k_1} t_0}  H(\omega_{k_1}) \right] \right] \times \\
\left[  \sum_{k_2}  \Delta \omega e^{+j \omega_{k_2} (t_i+T+\tau)}  \left[ V(\omega_{k_2}) + j e^{-j\omega_{k_2} t_0}  H(\omega_{k_2}) \right]   \right]
\end{multline}
Collecting terms, we get:
\begin{multline}
C^{rr}_{12}(\tau) = \sum_{k_1}  \sum_{k_2}  (\Delta \omega)^2 e^{-j\left[ \omega_{k_1} t_i-\omega_{k_2} (t_i+T+\tau) \right]} \times \\
\left[ V(\omega_{k_1} )V^* (\omega_{k_2})  -j e^{j \omega_{k_2} t_0 } V(\omega_{k_1} )H^*(\omega_{k_2}) +j e^{-j \omega_{k_1} t_0} H(\omega_{k_1}) V^* (\omega_{k_2}) +H(\omega_{k_1}) H^* (\omega_{k_2}) \right]
\end{multline}

Likewise the LCP waveforms for antennas 1 and 2, where again antenna 1 has a delay $T$ with respect to 2:
\begin{equation}
\ell_1(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  \sum_k  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_k t_i}  \left[ V(\omega_k) - j e^{-j\omega_k t_0}  H(\omega_k) \right]
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\ell_2(t_i) = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}  \sum_k  \Delta \omega e^{-j \omega_k (t_i+T)}  \left[ V(\omega_k) - j e^{-j\omega_k t_0}  H(\omega_k) \right]
\end{equation}
Then, 
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:C12rr}
C^{\ell\ell}_{12}(\tau) = \sum_{k^{\prime}} \Delta t ~ \ell_1(t_i) \ell^*_2 (t_i+\tau)
\end{equation}
\begin{multline}
C^{\ell \ell}_{12}(\tau) = \sum_{k_1}  \sum_{k_2}  (\Delta \omega)^2 e^{-j\left[ \omega_{k_1} t_i-\omega_{k_2} (t_i+T+\tau) \right]} \times \\
\left[ V(\omega_{k_1} )V^* (\omega_{k_2})  +j e^{j \omega_{k_2} t_0 } V(\omega_{k_1} )H^*(\omega_{k_2}) -j e^{-j \omega_{k_1} t_0} H(\omega_{k_1}) V^* (\omega_{k_2}) +H(\omega_{k_1}) H^* (\omega_{k_2}) \right]
\end{multline}

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.
