Campaign Data Summaries

The following tables list NASA's IceBridge data collected by campaign. Each table row represents an IceBridge data collection flight. An x in an instrument column indicates that the instrument was operational and collecting data on the flight. A blank field indicates the instrument was not operating. Instrument names and abbreviations are listed at the bottom of the page.

The campaigns are grouped into the following categories:
