Surface topography and snow depth measured during the ALERT2018 campaign (MAP Last Ice) at station ALERT2018_09
Measurements of surface topography have been performed using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (VZ-400i, RIEGL, Horn, Austria) on First-Year-Ice during the ALERT2018 campaign (Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) - Last Ice) off Alert, Nunavut, Canada in the Lincoln Sea in May 2018. The scans were perfo...

Measurements of surface topography have been performed using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (VZ-400i, RIEGL, Horn, Austria) on First-Year-Ice during the ALERT2018 campaign (Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) - Last Ice) off Alert, Nunavut, Canada in the Lincoln Sea in May 2018. The scans were performed across an approx. 100 times 100 m wide patch. The laser scanner was mounted on a tripod approx. 2 m above the surface and had a wavelength of 1550 nm.
