What's hot in the news around climate and sea ice and what are scientists talking about now? 
From 9:00 a.m. to noon (USA Mountain Time) Wednesday October 5, AMSR-E, Aquarius, IceBridge, ICESat/GLAS, MODIS, NISE, and SMAP data will not be available for ordering due to system maintenance.
AMSRIce03 Data
Ice thickness and snow depth sampling at Elson Lagoon, Alaska USA during the AMSRIce03 campaign.

Joint ground and aircraft measurements were taken in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas in the Arctic Ocean, and in Elson Lagoon, off the northern coast of Alaska, USA. The objectives of the experiment were to compare field, airborne, and other satellite data in order to validate and improve existing sea ice retrieval algorithms for the AMSR-E instrument.
