Airborne observations of changes of ice sheet and sea ice in the Arctic using CryoVEx campaign data
DTU Space have collected surface elevation observations of the Arctic sea ice and land ice since 1998 using laser scanning and radar altimetry from a small fixed‐wing Twin‐Otter aircraft. The observations provide unique datasets for studying ongoing changes, and support the analysis of satellite mea...
