Regional-scale sea-ice and snow thickness distributions from in situ and satellite measurements over East Antarctica during SIPEX 2007
The Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem eXperiment (SIPEX) was conducted in the East Antarctic pack ice zone between 115-130 degrees E from 9 September - 11 October, 2007. In situ measurements of sea-ice and snow properties were conducted at 15 ice stations, together with ship-based ASPeCt observations. T...
