Optimizing Observations of Sea Ice Thickness and Snow Depth in the Arctic

This work is motivated by the desire to improve the quality of airborne and satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness and snow depth in the Arctic; to achieve a resolution that is adequate for monitoring decadal variability and to minimize the degree of uncertainty in predictive models.
