Basal melt in the Dome A region will influence the deep-ice-core drilling at Kunlun Station. The melting point (wet bedrock) has a higher reflectivity than the surrounding area, which can be assessed using radar echoes from the bedrock. This paper uses a linear absorption model to determine wet and dry ice–bedrock interfaces around the Kunlun drilling site. In the determination process, an artificial intelligence model was applied to extract the ice–bedrock interface for inferring the ice thickness. Additionally, the various depth-averaged attenuation rates were used to identify the maximal range of basal melting. We mapped the patterns of the wet points on the bottom of the ice sheet and the modeled basal temperature to verify the results of the wet bed conditions. According to these maps of wet bed conditions, the areas with basal melting around the drilling site primarily appear in valley walls with low basal temperatures and are linked with hydraulic potential and bedrock elevation. Identifying the ice–bedrock interface is challenging in the valley bottom area, where the melting points are less than at the valley walls. Additionally, the melting proportions of 11.8% and 3.62% were calculated from two ice-penetrating radar data in this research. The mapped melting points around the site of Kunlun ice core drilling suggest complex ice flow effects and can be used to better interpret archives of old ice for paleoclimate research.
