«Our work shows that the data collected is very well - suited for ice sheet science, and we can combine it with other satellite and
airborne data sets to establish a more detailed record of these glaciers.»
Not exact matches
The team, which Marc led and provided the logistical support for, deployed from Resolute to Nord Greenland before
setting up a rustic field camp on the sea ice for six days, during which time we mechanically drilled the ice to measure thickness, measuring snow depth in a grid pattern along the flight lines as well as dragging instruments along the surface that produced the same measurements for comparison to the
airborne data.
Combined
data sets of draft and thickness from submarine sonars, satellite altimetry and
airborne electromagnetic sensing provide broadly consistent and strong evidence of decrease in Arctic sea ice thickness in recent years.
