As part of the NSERC&CRC funded Canadian Arctic Sea Ice Mass Balance Observatory (CASIMBO) project as well as the MEOPAR funded Improved sea ice prediction through assimilation of ice thickness information and SAR image classification project, researchers from York University have carried out an airborne ice thickness survey over parts of the North West Passage in Nunavut, Canada. Measurements were carried out with a towed EM probe operated by a Basler BT67 aircraft. The survey was carried out on April 8, 2016, and captured predominantly first-year fast ice, but also includes few scattered very thick multiyear ice floes ... : As part of the NSERC&CRC funded Canadian Arctic Sea Ice Mass Balance Observatory (CASIMBO) project as well as the MEOPAR funded Improved sea ice prediction through assimilation of ice thickness information and SAR image classification project, researchers from York University have carried out an airborne ice thickness survey over parts of the North West Passage in Nunavut, Canada. ...
