Kilometer-scale digital elevation models of the sea ice surface during MOSAiC with Airborne Laserscanning (ALS)
An integrated sensor platform including an inertial navigation system (INS) and a commercial airborne laser scanner (ALS) among other sensor was mounted in the cargo compartment in one of the Polarstern helicopters during MOSAiC. ALS data was acquired from more than 60 flights between October 2019 a...

An integrated sensor platform including an inertial navigation system (INS) and a commercial airborne laser scanner (ALS) among other sensor was mounted in the cargo compartment in one of the Polarstern helicopters during MOSAiC.

Here we provide an overview of the collected data and the challenge of achieving centimeter elevation accuracy with a helicopter platform at high polar latitudes. The high spatial resolution and repeated coverage of the larger area around Polarstern allow to study various surface features (e.g. pressure ridges, floes, melt ponds, snow drifts, etc.), their seasonal evolution, and their impact on atmosphere and ocean.
