The NASA IceBridge PARIS Level-2 Ice Thickness (IRPAR2) data set contains Greenland ice thickness measurements acquired using the Pathfinder Advanced Radar Ice Sounder (PARIS). The data files are in ASCII text format and contain fields for latitude, longitude, time, ice thickness, aircraft altitude, and confidence of thickness measurement. Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files are included for representation in earth browsers. The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded campaigns, and are available for ten days spanning 01 April 2009 to 02 May 2009 via FTP.
