Airborne observations of snow depth on sea ice were made in April 2019 during the winter campaign of the AWI IceBird campaign series. The data consist of five surveys, some with overlapping segments at low and high altitude, spanning sea-ice covered areas in the Lincoln Sea, Central Arctic Ocean, as...
