The Glacier and Land Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN): a novel Ka-band digitally beamformed interferometer
The estimation of the mass balance of ice sheets and glaciers on Earth is a problem of considerable scientific and societal importance. A key measurement to understanding, monitoring and forecasting these changes is ice-surface topography, both for ice-sheet and glacial regions. As such NASA identif...
