Journal of Geophysical Research 113(C08010), doi: 10.1029/2008JC004753.This data set provides measurements of sea ice freeboard and sea ice thickness for the Arctic region. The data were derived from measurements made by from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) instrument, the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I), and climatologies of snow and drift of ice.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/nsidc-0393-v001-userguide_1.pdfArctic Sea Ice Freeboard and Thickness, Version 1 User GuideGET DATAhttps://daacdata.apps.nsidc.org/pub/DATASETS/NSIDC0393_GLAS_SI_Freeboard_v01HTTPSPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/data/icesat/index.htmlICESat/GLAS Data at NSIDCPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://icesat.gsfc.nasa.gov/icesat/ICESat/GLAS Web site at NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://glas.wff.nasa.gov/ICESat/GLAS Web site at NASA Wallops Flight FacilityPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://icesat.gsfc.nasa.gov/ICESat/GLAS Web site at NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92009-04-302026-03-03NSIDCVersion SummaryNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCUpdate Frequencyupdated 2014-04-15NSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCLevel of ServiceComprehensiveNSIDCFull Dataset CitationYi, D. & Zwally, H.
