| Summary: | Airborne multi-instrument measurements of sea ice were made in April 2019 during the winter campaign of the AWI IceBird campaign series. The data consist of five surveys spanning sea-ice covered areas in the Lincoln Sea, Central Arctic Ocean, as well as the Beaufort Sea. For each flight, the geolocated total (ice+snow) thickness data from an airborne electromagnetic (EM) induction sensor are provided with a point spacing of approximately 5-6 meters. Larger gaps in the trajectories arise from high-altitude calibrations of the EM sensor. The data are combined with collocated and simultaneous snow depth measurements from an airborne frequency-modulated continuous-wave ultrawideband radar, snow freeboard measurements from an airborne near-infrared laser scanner, and surface temperature measurements from an airborne infrared radiation pyrometer. Each value represents the average within the approximately 40 m diameter footprint of the EM sensor, thus representing a smoothed representation. These values are then ... |
