Overview
This data set contains spot elevation measurements with corresponding waveforms of Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic sea ice. The data complement the IceBridge ATM L1B Near-Infrared Waveforms data, which are measured at near-infrared wavelength. Both of these narrow-swath data sets are closely related to the wide-swath IceBridge ATM L1B Elevation and Return Strength with Waveforms data set. The data were acquired as part of aircraft survey campaigns funded by Operation IceBridge.
