Overview
This data set contains simplified, or thinned, flight lines from NASA Operation IceBridge Greenland, Arctic, Antarctic, and Alaska missions. The thinning was performed using a Python library called Shapely. The full resolution flight line data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded aircraft survey campaigns. The following input data sets were used to generate this data set:
* IceBridge LVIS POS/AV L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data, Version 1
* IceBridge POS/AV L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data, Version 1
* IceBridge UAF GPS/IMU L1B Corrected Position and Attitude Data, Version 1
* IceBridge GPS L1B Time-Tagged Real-Time Position and Attitude Solution, Version 1
The corresponding flight reports can be found in the IceBridge L1B Flight Reports (IPFLR1B) data set.

How To
Many NSIDC DAAC data sets can be accessed using the NSIDC DAAC's Data Access Tool. This tool provides the ability to search and filter data with spatial and temporal constraints using a map-based interface.
Users have the option to
The NSIDC Data Map Services Application Programming Interface (API) provides HTTP URLs for requesting geo-registered map images from NSIDC's geospatial database. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed.
