Overview
This data set contains geolocated waveforms of Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic sea ice measured by the Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) near-infrared (NIR) lidar. The data complement, and are intended to be used with, the IceBridge Narrow Swath ATM L1B Elevation and Return Strength with Waveforms data, which are measured at green wavelength. The data were acquired as part of aircraft survey campaigns funded by Operation IceBridge.
