This data set is a higher-processing-level version of Geolocated sea-ice or snow surface elevation point clouds from helicopter-borne laser scanner during the MOSAiC expedition, version 1 (Jutila et al., 2022; doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.950509), where the surface elevation point cloud has been converted to freeboard using automatic open water detection scheme and projected onto a regular 0.5-meter grid. The data were collected using a near-infrared, line-scanning Riegl VQ-580 airborne laser scanner (hdl:10013/sensor.7ebb63c3-dc3b-4f0f-9ca5-f1c6e5462a31 & hdl:10013/sensor.7a931b33-72ca-46d0-b623-156836ac9550) mounted in a helicopter along the MOSAiC drift from the north of the Laptev Sea, across the central Arctic Ocean, and towards the Fram Strait from September 2019 to October 2020. The flights are both small scale, ~5x5 km grid patterns mainly over the central observatory, and large scale, few tens of km away from RV Polarstern, triangle patterns, or transects. The gridded data are stored in 30-second ...
