Sea Ice thickness Observation System SITHOS
The focus of the SITHOS project has been to develop and test new observing systems for sea ice thickness and related parameters for climate change detection, support to sea transport, offshore operations as well as environmental monitoring in polar regions. The project has collected and analysed new...
