ICESat over Arctic sea ice : Interpretation of altimetric and reflectivity profiles

We provide an assessment of the ICESat altimeter for studying the Arctic Ocean and examine the magnitude of the large- and small-scale expressions of geophysical processes embedded in the elevation profiles. This analysis includes data from six surveys. . NASA/JPL
