Overview

This data set is an evaluation product containing derived geophysical data products retrieved over the Arctic sea ice cover, using the IceBridge Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM), Snow Radar, Digital Mapping System (DMS), and KT19 pyrometer. This quick look product is experimental and designed to be applicable for time-sensitive projects such as sea ice forecasting. The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded campaigns. Note: This data set is the Quick Look counterpart to the IceBridge L4 Sea Ice Freeboard, Snow Depth, and Thickness data set.
