Large scale air-borne sea ice thickness measurements

Data from ASAC project 3030.Public summary for the project:This project will measure the sea ice thickness off East Antarctica, over spatial scales up to hundreds of kilometers. Sea ice is a likely sensitive indicator of climate variations and change. No large scale sea ice thickness measurements exist in the Antarctic. An estimation of trends of change in Antarctic sea ice thickness and volume is therefore not currently possible. To address this deficiency and to provide an independent data set for the validation of models and the calibration of remote-sensing data, we will conduct high accuracy air borne laser scanner measurements in the sea ice zone off East Antarctica.More information about the project can be found in lidar.pdf (which is available with the data).

ASAC项目3030的数据。项目公开摘要：本项目将在东南极洲附近海域测量海冰厚度，空间尺度可达数百公里。海冰是气候变化和波动的潜在敏感指标。南极地区目前尚无大规模海冰厚度测量数据，因此无法对南极海冰厚度和体积的变化趋势进行估算。为弥补这一不足，并为模型验证和遥感数据校准提供独立数据集，我们将在东南极洲附近的海冰区开展高精度机载激光扫描仪测量。有关该项目的更多信息可在lidar.pdf中查阅（该文件随数据一同提供）。
