Abstract:
The NASA IceBridge Snow Radar Level-1B Geolocated Radar Echo Strength Profiles (IRSNO1B) data set contains snow thickness and internal layer measurements taken from the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) ultra wide-band snow radar over land and sea ice in Greenland, the Arctic, and Antarctica. The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded campaigns, and are stored in binary, MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files, and are available for periodic, ongoing campaigns from 31 March 2009 to the present via FTP.
Purpose:
