IceBridge HiCARS 2 L2 Geolocated Ice Thickness, Version 1 (IR2HI2)
Data set:
IR2HI2
This is the most recent version of these data.
Overview
This data set contains ice thickness, surface and bed elevation, and echo strength measurements taken over Antarctica using the Hi-Capability Airborne Radar Sounder (HiCARS) instrument. The data were collected by scientists working on the Investigating the Cryospheric Evolution of the Central Antarctic Plate (ICECAP) project, which was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) with additional support from NASA Operation IceBridge.
