Description
Summary:Helicopter-borne electromagnetic induction sounding (HEM) sea ice thickness measurements made in the Fram Strait region in August-September 2014. A total of 9 separate flights were conducted during this campaign. The thickness produced by this sensor is ‘total thickness’, that is ice + snow, but is normally referred to as ‘sea-ice thickness’. This data has not been adjusted for sea-ice concentration. As the sea-ice concentration was low on several of these flights we recommend that this is done prior to any detailed analysis of this data. We would like to thank the crews of Airlift helicopter and RV Lance for their assistance with the collection of this dataset.
