Barrow Airborne Sea Ice Thickness Surveys
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
As an international partner, the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research provides measurements of sea ice thickness obtained by a helicopter based EM ice thickness sensor.
Description
A description of the system is given in Haas et al. (2007). In principle the distance between the instrument and the sea surface is estimated with an electromagnetic signal, regardless of the overlying sea ice cover.
The distance to the top snow cover is estimated with a laser altimeter. Consequently all thickness data refers to the snow plus ice or total thickness. Data
